Thanks,

This is not exactly what I want: .xsession (or .xinitrc) are run and when they quit, the X session terminates.
I could do that and start Xmonad myself from the .xsession.

But this is a pity: we can choose our window manager from configuration.nix and login window, if I want to change 
for a demo. I do not want to choose it from a .xxx file.

But still before running the window manager, some people want to run some commands. Usually, the .xsessionrc is run
before starting the chosen window manager.

Should nixos do the same or ithere a better way ?

Cheers,
Christophe
