feh is used to set background image for desktop managers that do not
support it directly, however there is no need to include it in PATH.
Fixes #17450.
Now there are separate `xfce4.xfce4mixer_pulse` and `xfce4.xfcevolumed_pulse` attributes for PulseAudio versions of these packages, instead of relying on Nixpkgs option. Mind that xfce4-volumed and xfce4-volumed-pulse are actually two separate programs without much overlap.
For some reason, the GNOME 3.26 update broke the overrides. It turns
out the overrides now need to come before the overridden schemas in the
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. This is not possible in general due to applications
prefixing the variable (e.g. in wrapGAppsHook).
To fix this, a new environment variable NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR
was introduced. It has greater priority than XDG_DATA_DIRS but lower
than GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. A separate variable was chosen in order not
to block the built-in one for users.

Breaking people's config for this is hardly reasonable as is. If it
absolutely cannot be avoided, at the very least, we need to provide
clear instructions on what people need to upgrade in their config. I
actually had to bisect to the commit, to even find out what property I
should change or define, as the error message was useless. It didn't
even mention a property name.
Discussion on the PR seems to be ongoing, so I'm reverting this, so we
don't break people's systems on unstable.

* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
- Update to version 1.3.0
- Remove dependency on `oxygen-icons5`, as Lumina desktop now distributes
it’s own "material-design-[light/dark]" icon themes and uses them as the
default icon sets.
- Reduce environment pollution with a separate $bin output containing programs,
plugins, and shared data. Libraries remain in $out and are not installed into
the environment.
- Only propagate build inputs as required.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
Without this change there will be silent errors when enabling screen
sharing. The GUI thinks it enables the service when it in fact does not
(errors are seen in the system journal).
vino is already in the closure of gnome-control-center, so this is
basically free.
Configuration of screen sharing is done in GNOME control center.
Use a solid black background when no background image (via
~/.background-image) is provided. In my case this fixes the really
strange behaviour when i3 without a desktop manager starts with the SDDM
login screen as background image.
kimpanel does not show installed IBus engines or allow switching input
methods. kimpanel does show configured keyboard layouts through kxkb, so I
believe there is some problem communicating with IBus. No error messages are
produced in the log and I have been unable to discover the cause. I have no
intention of continuing to work on kimpanel at this time, so it should be
disabled. The GTK+ 3-based panel provided by IBus is perfectly serviceable in
the interim.
Without it, the following error is shown in the "Add Printer" window:
Failed to group devices: 'The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files'
Split packages in three categories, all of them going into the system
package list:
- pre-requisite packages
- core packages
- optional packages
Add a new configuration option 'environment.lxqt.excludePackages' to
specify optional LXQt packages that should be excluded from system
packages.
Add 'gvfs' as a pre-requisite package, needed by 'pcmanfm-qt' to
handle virtual places, like "Computer" and "Network".
