This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
Currently just makes sure that by default it's possible to open a
terminal.
And exactly this should be the main point that might confuse users of i3
in NixOS, because i3 doesn't print a warning/error if it is unable to
start the terminal emulator.
Thanks to @waaaaargh for reporting this issue.
