Thanks! Didn't know i3lock. It works fine. For the dm-tool, it doesn't work as expected $ dm-tool lock command does nothing and /var/log/lightdm.log contains [see below]. Could you please compare this snippet with your own? Regards, Sergey -- /var/log/lightdm.log (after dm-tool) [+1287786.07s]

So simple...I am feeling shy :/ Many thanks, Vladimír! By the way, I created a branch, mate-on-nixos, on my local mirror. It has only mate-common for now, and I will not pull-request it until I feel it is complete. 2014-05-18 7:02 GMT-03:00 Vladimír Čunát : > On 05/17/2014 09:34 PM, Anderson To

About documentation itself, I find the format of famous "FreeBSD Handbook" ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/) very appealing. It can be used as a guide to our wiki or even a book on its own. Also, a thing I miss in the wiki is a 'hacking guide' inside Nixpkgs and Nix programming in general. I
