services/gnome: Reinstate auto-configuration for GNOME Boxes.
Previously to 4722496292 ("Remove gnome-boxes from default GNOME apps."), USB
redirection for GNOME Boxes had been working out-of-the-box. Reinstate the
extensions that made that possible, so that simply adding the gnome-boxes
package back to one of the gnome-desktop-configuration fields does the right
thing.
* gnu/services/desktop.scm (gnome-setuid-programs): New procedure.
(gnome-desktop-service-type) [privileged-program-service-type]: Use it as an
extension.
* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-boxes):
[inputs]: Move spice-gtk to...
[propagated-inputs]: ... here.
[description]: Document extra steps necessary to enable the USB redirection
feature.

@code{libvirt} and @code{virtlog} daemons to run. Use the command

|

these services on the Guix System.
|

|
||||
To make it possible to redirect USB devices as a non-privileged user, some
|
||||
extra configuration is necessary: if you use the
|
||||
@code{gnome-desktop-service-type}, you should add the @code{gnome-boxes}
|
||||
package to the @code{extra-packages} field of the
|
||||
@code{gnome-desktop-configuration}, for example:
|
||||
@lisp
|
||||
(service gnome-desktop-service-type
|
||||
(gnome-desktop-configuration
|
||||
(extra-packages (list gnome-boxes gnome-essential-extras))))
|
||||
@end lisp
|
||||
If you do @emph{not} use the @code{gnome-desktop-service-type}, you will need
|
||||
manually extend the @code{polkit-service-type} with the @code{spice-gtk}
|
||||
package, as well as configure the
|
||||
@file{libexec/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper} executable of @code{spice-gtk}
