Doing this will make niri appear in GDM and other display managers.
### Version string
The niri version string includes its version and commit hash:
```
$ niri --version
niri 25.01 (e35c630)
```
When building in a packaging system, there's usually no repository, so the commit hash is unavailable and the version will show "unknown commit".
In this case, please set the commit hash manually:
```
$ export NIRI_BUILD_COMMIT="e35c630"
...proceed to build niri
```
You can also override the version string entirely, in this case please make sure the corresponding niri version stays intact:
```
$ export NIRI_BUILD_VERSION_STRING="25.01-1 (e35c630)"
...proceed to build niri
```
Remember to set this variable for both `cargo build` and `cargo install` since the latter will rebuild niri if the environment changes.
### Panics
Good panic backtraces are required for diagnosing niri crashes.
