Hi,
conses <contact@conses.eu> skribis:
> * gnu/home/services/xdisorg.scm: New file.
Could you (1) add this file to ‘gnu/local.mk’, and (2) document it in
‘doc/guix.texi’ (again: a few introductory lines, an example, and the
reference)?
> + (description "Set up an unclutter daemon.")))
Could you expand it a bit? For example:
Run the unclutter daemon, which, on systems using the Xorg graphical
display server, automatically hides the cursors after a user-defined
timeout has expired.
TIA,
Ludo’.

I decided to bundle this home service in (gnu home services desktop)
instead as it makes more sense for someone to use it only when running a
graphical display server. I also documented it in the manual.

Amended the service description with the above.
