Hi Benjamin!

This thread was on my backlog, but I forgot about it, when was updating
xdg-desktop-portals, so I did it separately.  Screensharing via pipewire
now works again.  I applied your pipewire and wireplumber patches, thank
you very much.

That's right, limits should be configured via pam-limits-service-type.
