Dear Arne

SLiM is the first thing I tried, with both simple

   (service slim-service-type)

and

   (service slim-service-type
            (slim-configuration
             (display ":0")
             (vt "vt7")))

and

   (modify-services %desktop-services
                    (delete gdm-service-type))

further down, but “guix system reconfigure” fails with

   guix system: error: service 'xorg-server' provided more than
   once

I have no idea where that comes from. Removing either or both
“xorg” entries from “use-service-modules” and
“use-package-modules” does not help.

I saw, by the way, that SLiM has not changed in 13 years:

   https://github.com/iwamatsu/slim

That can be a good thing, I suppose.

Tempting. So far I am doing it the recommended (or used to be)
Guix way with a separate EXWM configuration in ~/.exwm and EXWM as
login option from GDM, but that always seemed complicated and, as
we see now, is fragile.

All best,
Stefan
