* xdg-desktop-entries: add module
rebase
* xdg-desktop-entries: adapt to changes in makeDesktopItem
This package depends on the makeDesktopItem function in nixpkgs, which recently changed its syntax:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91790
This commit makes the module compatible with the new syntax.
It also exposes the fileValidation option in makeDesktopItem.

There is a need to manage XDG Base Directory system directory
environment variables in Home Manager modules. There is an existing
mechanism in `targets.genericLinux.extraXdgDataDirs', but this does not
apply to NixOS systems.
Furthermore, it is important that `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS' and `XDG_DATA_DIRS'
are set in both login shells (to support getty and SSH sessions) as well
as the systemd user manager (to propagate them to user services and
desktop environments).
The first need is addressed by adding the `xdg.systemDirs' module, which
configures lists of directory names for both `config' and `data'
directories. These are then set in
`$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/environment.d/10-home-manager.conf' and picked up by
the systemd user manager.
To make these, and other variables set in
`systemd.user.sessionVariables', available in login shells, an
additional step is added to `etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh' which
exports the result of
`user-environment-generators/30-systemd-environment-d-generator' which
is shipped with systemd. The effect of this generator is to print
variables set on the systemd user manager such that shells can import
these into their environment.
This allows you to set a theme for Qt applications. For example, if you
want to use `adwaita-qt` theme to have uniform look between Gtk and Qt
applications, you can use it like this:
```nix
{
qt = {
enable = true;
platformTheme = "gnome";
style = {
name = "adwaita";
package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
};
};
}
```
This test started failing as described in the code comment. May be
related to Nixpkgs updating Fontconfig from version 2.12 to 2.13. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/73795.
Before the XDG variables would be set from the user's environment, if
available. This would break some tests.
With this change the tests should be fully deterministic.
Fixes#1190
This replaces some derivation outputs by simple strings rather than
full Nix store paths. This removes the need to download the whole
derivation when all we need is a static string.
This fixes a build error occurring when building a configuration
having fontconfig enabled and `home.packages` only containing one
package installing things to `/lib`.
Also adds a number of test cases to verify the fontconfig cache
generation functionality.
Fixes#703
Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
