Clean up the cherry-pick references in the git commit messages please? (The original commits are not in nixpkgs, according to the github web UI -- and this PR targets master, so it doesn't seem right to cherry-pick to master either.)

[SuperSandro2000]

Oh yeah, I just started to throw that onto every cherry-pick after taking way to many d-tours in openwrt and backporting here, but removed them from the commits.

Can you please take a look at the actual changes? Are they fine?

The vte changes look good (I also checked the upstream patches), but I stopped at the gdm patch, because it was relatively big, had no justification in the commit message and seemed unrelated to the issue at hand?

It is only big because it changes indentation and moves a few things around because you cannot define multiple options like user.users = at the same level. It reduces the copy paste of the same thing and also fell out of the gnome 49 update.

Thanks for the info and update. Approved :-)

Just verified that there are still here after fixing the int to string conversion.
