Sorry for the late response, I thought I had already responded a few
days back, but it seems I must have replied to the wrong message...
I'm sad to say that I have had to give up on using Guix (for now), since
I didn't have enough time to properly configure the system to my needs
during university (thanks for the responses anyways!).
Nevertheless, I managed to solve the issue by reading through the
manual, and it was unrelated to my initial suspicion, and as you mention
had to do with the xsession file containing a command (I believe it was
"xset") that I hadn't installed in my user profile. After removing said
lines, any all DE's worked as expected.
Ultimately, I'd still see this as a kind of bug, since the in the case
of GDM no error message appeared at all, and SLiM generated two written
*over* one another, with little information on what exactly was wrong.
Or is it generally not advised to use an .xsession file?
