			The default config of i3 provides a key binding to reload, so changes take effect immediately: ``` bindsym $mod+Shift+c reload ``` Unfortunately the current module uses the store path of the `configFile` option. So when I change the config in NixOS, a store path will be created, but the current i3 process will continue to use the old one, hence a restart of i3 is required currently. This change links the config to `/etc/i3/config` and alters the X startup script accordingly so after each rebuild, the config can be reloaded.
