[Nix-dev] Launching custom xsession

like this on NixOS. On IRC somebody mentioned using systemd units but I can't find further info on the wiki. Currently I am using a pure xmonad setup by using services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad.enable = true; As said on man configuration.nix. Still would appreciate feedback. -- Ruben
