Description
This is a simple patch that runs systemctl --user import-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY DISPLAY, and systemctl --user start dwl-session.target after Dwl initializes, and then systemctl --user stop dwl-session.target when Dwl quits. This allows you to handle graceful startup and shutdown of your graphical systemd services, with the proper environment variables set. This is similar to uwsm, but it integrates natively with your existing systemd user services, and doesn't have uwsm's runtime overhead.
You must have a dwl-session.target created that binds to graphical-session.target. You can then set the WantedBy of your systemd services to either graphical-session.target, or dwl-session.target, depending on whether you want them to start for just Dwl, or for every graphical session.
Below is the Nix home-manager configuration I use to generate dwl-session.target, and its resulting output.
systemd.user.targets.dwl-session.Unit = {
Description = "dwl compositor session";
Documentation = [ "man:systemd.special(7)" ];
BindsTo = [ "graphical-session.target" ];
Wants = [ "graphical-session-pre.target" ];
After = [ "graphical-session-pre.target" ];
};
[Unit]
After=graphical-session-pre.target
BindsTo=graphical-session.target
Description=dwl compositor session
Documentation=man:systemd.special(7)
Wants=graphical-session-pre.target
