thank you very much. Here is my service description now:

systemd.user.services.emacs = {
    description                 = "Emacs: the extensible, self-documenting
text editor";
    environment.GTK_DATA_PREFIX = config.system.path;
    environment.SSH_AUTH_SOCK   = "%t/keyring/ssh";
    environment.GTK_PATH        =
"${config.system.path}/lib/gtk-3.0:${config.system.path}/lib/gtk-2.0";
    serviceConfig               = {
      Type      = "forking";
      ExecStart = "${emacs-24}/bin/emacs --daemon";
      ExecStop  = "${emacs-24}/bin/emacsclient --eval (kill-emacs)";
      Restart   = "always";
    };
    wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];
};



My next problem is that DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set in this emacs
service. Do you know how I could set it?

Bonus question: would nixos be interested in this file? Should I push it in
nixpkgs/nixos/modules (or somewhere else)?

Thanks
