Subject: [PATCH] nixos: provide default console_cmd for slim
This provides a default console_cmd for the slim display-manager.
When the user enters "console" as the user name, slim will run this
command.
Having a default is rather important; the virtual terminals don't work
with some display drivers, so having a broken X session can leave you
locked out of your machine.
