Hey Norman,

Extending the package management to cover some runtime configuration
sounds great. Making subsystems clean and self-contained will be
very helpful for distributing compositions that contain a lot of
configuration.

I noticed you included some display parameters with a <framebuffer/>
node, I think that it may be worthwhile to include some information on
the size and positioning of Nitpicker windows/views. Surely there is a
neat way to pass this information to a window manager stack.
