[Nix-dev] synaptics touchpad configuration question

I have the following in my configuration.nix:

  # Enable the X11 windowing system.
  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    layout = "us";
    videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];
    synaptics = {
      enable = true;
      additionalOptions =
      ''
        *Option "RBCornerButton" "3"*
      '';
    };
    desktopManager.xfce.enable = true;
  };


But when I `nixos-rebuild switch` and `reboot`, then check my current
configuration with `synclient -l` I see the following:

    RBCornerButton          = 0

And indeed I still can't right-click.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated; this is really the last hurdle (not
that there were any others really) in getting nixos working on my ideapad,
which up until now has been very resistant to any linux installers over the
last few years, partly because nouveau is often the default driver, which
doesn't work at all for me. Luckily it is very easy to install nixos from
the command line with the help of a few docs. I think this is the first
time I've had a ZFS root drive in Linux, maybe in any OS (still not an
option in the Ubuntu installer btw).
