Previously processes started from the window manager would have a couple
of leaked file descriptors: writable /var/log/slim.log and readable
/gnu/store/…-xinitrc.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xinitrc)[builder]: Add 'close-all-fdes'. Use
it in 'exec-from-login-shell'.
That makes WindowMaker the default session, by default.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xsessions-directory)[builder]: Prepend a number
in the file name to preserve the order of SESSIONS.
(slim-service): Augment docstring.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/services/base.scm (nscd-service): Add #:name-services parameter.
In 'start' field, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH based on #:name-services.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document it.
(Name Service Switch): Link to 'nscd-service'.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (<session-type>): New record type.
(%windowmaker-session-type, %ratpoison-session-type): New variables.
(%default-xsessions): Use them.
(xsessions-directory): Expect SESSIONS to be a list of <session-type>
and rewrite accordingly.
(slim-service): Adjust docstring.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Update accordingly.
Includes fixes for CVE-2014-8091, CVE-2014-8092, CVE-2014-8093, CVE-2014-8094,
CVE-2014-8095, CVE-2014-8096, CVE-2014-8097, CVE-2014-8098, CVE-2014-8099,
CVE-2014-8100, CVE-2014-8101, CVE-2014-8102, and CVE-2014-8103.
See <http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Security/Advisory-2014-12-09/>
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xorg-server): Update to 1.16.2.901. Move mesa,
resourceproto, scrnsaverproto, and xf86driproto from inputs to
propagated-inputs. Add dri3proto and presentproto to propagated-inputs.
Add eudev and libxshmfence to inputs. Add a 'pre-configure' phase instead
of modifying the 'configure' phase. Adapt substitution that avoids trying
to 'mkdir /var' to build system changes.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xserver.conf): Add xf86-input-evdev ModulePath line.
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xf86-video-modesetting): Remove a comment stating
that the libdrm used in this driver is incompatible with the one in mesa,
because it is no longer true.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xserver.conf): Uncomment 'xf86-video-modesetting'
ModulePath and remove associated comment.
Before that, as it was given an empty configuration file, nscd would
actually have all its caches disabled.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>, <nscd-cache>): New record
types.
(%nscd-default-caches, %nscd-default-configuration): New variables.
(nscd.conf-file): New procedure.
(nscd-service): Add 'config' parameter. Use 'nscd.conf-file', and
pass its result as the '-f' parameter of nscd.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Update 'nscd-service' documentation
accordingly. Document 'nscd-configuration', 'nscd-cache',
'%nscd-default-configuration', and '%nscd-default-caches'.
This is a followup to 1d18d87, which fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xinitrc)[builder]: Add 'exec-from-login-shell'
procedure. Use it instead of 'execl' when launching XSESSION, WMAKER,
or RATPOISON.
Suggested by Adam Pribyl <pribyl@lowlevel.cz>.
* gnu/services/ssh.scm (lsh-service): Update docstring with xrefs to
the lsh manual. Fix typos.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Synchronize.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>.

* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xf86-video-modesetting): New variable.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command)[xserver.conf]: Add
ModulePath line for XF86-VIDEO-MODESETTING, commented out.
* gnu/services/base.scm (user-processes-service): Increase the default
value of 'grace-delay'. This leaves more time for processes to clean
up their PID files, /tmp/.X0-lock, etc.

implement the mouse protocol of a proprietary emulator.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command): Remove reference.
