Getting the Keybase GUI to work on NixOS
# Add this file to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix `imports = [ ... ];` attribute.
#
# After running `nixos-rebuild switch`, `systemctl --user start keybase-gui.service`
# can be used to start the Keybase GUI.
#
# Not sure if it's just my tiling window manager, but there is a bit of wonkiness
# with the tray icon. Other than that it works perfectly (as of 2017/11/22).
