Graphical services
------------------
Home Manager includes a number of services intended to run in a
graphical session, for example `xscreensaver` and `dunst`.
Unfortunately, such services will not be started automatically unless
you let Home Manager start your X session. That is, you have something
like
```nix
{
# …
services.xserver.enable = true;
# …
}
```
in your system configuration and
```nix
{
# …
xsession.enable = true;
xsession.windowManager = "…";
# …
}
```
in your Home Manager configuration.
