Xfce Desktop Environment
To enable the Xfce Desktop Environment, set
= true;
= "xfce";
Optionally, picom can be enabled for nice graphical
effects, some example settings:
services.picom = {
enable = true;
fade = true;
inactiveOpacity = 0.9;
shadow = true;
fadeDelta = 4;
};
Some Xfce programs are not installed automatically. To install them manually
(system wide), put them into your
from pkgs.xfce.
Thunar Plugins
If you'd like to add extra plugins to Thunar, add them to
.
You shouldn't just add them to .
Troubleshooting
Even after enabling udisks2, volume management might not work. Thunar and/or
the desktop takes time to show up. Thunar will spit out this kind of message
on start (look at journalctl --user -b).
Thunar:2410): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported
This is caused by some needed GNOME services not running. This is all fixed
by enabling "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the Advanced tab of the
Session and Startup settings panel. Alternatively, you can run this command
to do the same thing.
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /compat/LaunchGNOME -s true
A log-out and re-log will be needed for this to take effect.
