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?
