Hi Philip,

Like Giuseppe wrote, could you share your config.scm file?

What happens if you remove =E2=80=98xmonad=E2=80=99 from your profile?

Do you have a ~/.xsession file?  If so, could you share it?

I don=E2=80=99t see any reason off-hand while this would happen (Guix System
installations used SLiM in the past, and have been using GDM by default
for several months now.)

Indeed, =E2=80=98startx=E2=80=99 is currently not supported.

Thanks for your bug report,
