Opening i3 from home-manager automatically

An alternative is to have something like

services.xserver.desktopManager.session = [
  {
    name = "home-manager";
    start = ''
      ${pkgs.runtimeShell} $HOME/.hm-xsession &
      waitPID=$!
    '';
  }
];

in your system configuration and

xsession.scriptPath = ".hm-xsession";

in your HM configuration.
