[Nix-dev] some basic questions from a new NixOS user

[Shea Levy]

Hi all,

I'm coming to this thread late and haven't read it all, but in case it's 
useful I have working nixos configurations that use xmonad available 
online. I don't use nix-env to install anything on my nixos systems, 
just nixos-rebuild for it all.

See 
https://github.com/shlevy/dotfiles/blob/master/nixos/common-configuration.nix 
for the nixos configuration. If I remember correctly, the relevant parts 
are the bottom half of environment.x11Packages and the services.xserver 
stuff.

See https://github.com/shlevy/dotfiles/tree/master/xmonad for the xmonad 
configuration files I use. I symlink the relevant ones to my home directory.

Cheers,
Shea
