I see the problem rests only in configuring the keyboard layout in hal, for X.
Nevertheless, using the client "setxkbmap" works, which can help until we
can configure the keyboard layout in configuration.nix.

evdev gets the keyboard layout / model from HAL (`lshal | grep
xkb'), but we don't yet have a way to override the default (`us').

"AllowEmptyInput" to "off", otherwise we get no keyboard or mouse.
The logfile then says:
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse'
will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Keyboard[0]
(WW) Disabling Mouse[0]
which seems rather weird.

rather than supplying our own (less maintenance...).
This takes care, among other things, of populating
/dev/disk, which is useful.

- Set the desktop background to the image ~/.background-image.
- Depending on services.xserver.sessionType, start an xterm or a
gnome-terminal as the "desktop" :-)
* Upstart jobs can now declare extra packages to be added to the
system path through the `extraPath' attribute. For instance, the
ALSA job adds alsa-utils, and the X server job adds lots of stuff
depending on the X configuration (e.g., xrandr, gnome-terminal,
twm).
* Create a cdrom/dvd symlink for SCSI sr? devices.

except for the fonts, which are still hardcoded. The current
configuration uses the VESA driver, which should work on most
machines. Of course, the configuration should now be generated from
a higher-level specification.
