Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

# wmii crashes once a month here. That doesn't matter that much
# wmii can recover very well. However without loop the x session terminates and then your workspace setup is
# lost and all applications running on X will terminate.
# Another use case is kill -9 wmii; after rotating screen.
# Note: we don't like kill for that purpose. But it works (-> subject "wmii and xrandr" on mailinglist)
