To reproduce, create an operating-system configuration that uses the
slim-service and do not add any additional packages to the base
system, such as xterm.
As an unpriveleged user, run 'guix packge -i xterm'. Then, try to
launch xterm via Window Maker's main menu. It will fail.

I believe this is fixed by 1d18d87.
Let me know if there’s anything wrong.
Thanks!

Thinking more about it, the fix in 1d18d87 wasn’t quite right.
I think the right thing would be to run the window manager as a child of
a ‘bash --login’ process, so the whole X session would get environment
variables like a login shell.
WDYT, 宋文武?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Agree!
And currently ratposion and windowmaker are hardcoded,
how about make sessions configurable?
Like:
(define %default-sessions
`(("windowmaker" . #~(execl #$windowmaker "/bin/wmaker"))
("ratposion" . #~(execl #$ratposion "/bin/ratposion"))))
(define* (slim-service #:key (sessions %default-sessions)
...

Commit b2bd7c2 does that. Let me know if you think of adjustments to make!

PS: I’ll reply to the other topic on guix-devel.
