Once there was a commit
commit 3ad3c55842dd34adc4b1a1b65ba0abfbdf5b92ee
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Date: Wed Apr 17 00:27:04 2019 +0200
installer: Desktop environment page now includes window managers.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (<system-service>)[snippet]: Change to be a
list of sexps and add default value.
[packages]: New field.
(%system-services): Adjust 'snippet' fields to be lists of sexps.
Add Openbox, awesome, i3, and ratpoison.
(system-services->configuration): Adjust 'snippet' handling. Honor
'packages' field.
Maybe openbox and ratpoison services should not be suggested by the
Guix System graphical installer, because they apparently are unusable
without further config files. Note that sway is not among the
suggested desktop environments either. WDYT?
Regards,
Florian

What do you mean unusable? I use ratpoison, and a configuration file is
*not* required. You may be stumped by the empty screen with the mouse
being utterly useless. That's the whole point of ratpoison ;-).

Oops yes. Ratpoison even displays instructions to get help in a corner.
C-t C-c works fine (after running `guix build xterm`). Openbox works
fine when right clicking the black screen.
No bug here. Closing.
Regards,
Florian
