This reverts commit f140dfb.
This reverts commit cf56cef.
This reverts commit 456c42c.

This has caused more issues than originally intended. It looks like many configurations rely on xterm being set to work correctly. This includes when you are starting a WM without going through a DE. We shouldn't break these setups (if stateVersion is unset). To make matters worse, most users don't actually know they are relying on xterm. LightDM seems to be the main one effected for now:

I expect more issues to come up as users of 19.03 upgrade to 19.09.

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I would appreciate this on 19.09 but would prefer a solution like #68371 for master/20.03

A new nixos commit disables the desktop manager xterm by default, but
my current setup needs it.
