Optionally, <emphasis>picom</emphasis> can be enabled for nice

Some Xfce programs are not installed automatically. To install them
|
||
manually (system wide), put them into your
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" /> from
|
||
<literal>pkgs.xfce</literal>.

|
||
<para>
|
||
Thunar (the Xfce file manager) is automatically enabled when Xfce
|
||
is enabled. To enable Thunar without enabling Xfce, use the
|
||
configuration option <xref linkend="opt-programs.thunar.enable" />
|
||
instead of simply adding <literal>pkgs.xfce.thunar</literal> to
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" />.
|
||
</para>
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you’d like to add extra plugins to Thunar, add them to
|
||
<xref linkend="opt-programs.thunar.plugins" />. You shouldn’t just
|
||
add them to <xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" />.

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
|
||
<literal>journalctl --user -b</literal>).

<para>
|
||
This is caused by some needed GNOME services not running. This is
|
||
all fixed by enabling <quote>Launch GNOME services on
|
||
startup</quote> in the Advanced tab of the Session and Startup
|
||
settings panel. Alternatively, you can run this command to do the
|
||
same thing.

A log-out and re-log will be needed for this to take effect.
