Using the configure option relieves us of the patch and passing the path
via the env var in many places. Also the env var may not be inherited
when components like gdm spawn new sessions.
See #11567.
Furthermore, it renames pythonPackages.dbus to pythonPackages.dbus-
python as that's the name upstream uses.
There is a small rebuild but I couldn't figure out the actual cause.
* Add missing modules (fixes warnings and errors).
* Step 1 to unbreak starting Xvfb by making xpra invoke it with
valid log dir ($HOME/.xpra). Without this fix, it is invoked with
~/.xpra, which Xvfb doesn't know how to interpret and uses it
literally (fail). Step 2 will be fixing an Xvfb permission issue:
"xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 1 (Permission denied)".
* Use XPRA_INSTALL_PREFIX to make it find its icons.
Version 0.11.6 was the latest version that I was able to get building
and running on NixOS. Unfortunately my previous commit for 0.12.5 was
an error and incomplete.
It still builds, but it's a pythonPackage so who knows if it works
right. Was breaking the tarball, though.

This is not needed to run XPRA, but gets rid of a few nasty errors.
XPRA is using the notify library to display nice desktop notifications, so there
might be users who actually like to have those funny things.
Cython is not required in order to run XPRA, so we now explicitly specify what
should be put into PYTHONPATH instead of using the PYTHONPATH which is set
during build time.
That way we don't get unnecessary stuff in /nix/store, like the mentioned
cython compiler/interpreter.
This is because the original version is no longer in development, as stated on
the website at http://code.google.com/p/partiwm/wiki/xpra:
"This project is in deep hibernation; I haven't had time to devote for several
years now. If you are looking for xpra, you may prefer Antoine Martin's fork,
which receives more support. It is available at: http://xpra.org/"
So I guess its safe to switch over to that fork.
