I'm running Guix on one of my computers, I've installed icecat, xorg, and
windowmaker. I was wondering whether it was possible to run X.

I did not test it on 0.8 yet, but for 0.7 you have to start Xorg with 
module path to your profile like
Xorg -modulepath  /root/.guix-profile/lib/xorg/modules/

not sure if there is some more elegant way, but this worked.

Currently the easiest way to get X running is to use ‘slim-service’:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#X-Window

Add it to the operating system declaration, like:

  (operating-system
    ;; ...
    (services (cons (slim-service) %base-services)))

Then ‘guix system reconfigure config.scm’, restart, and the system
should get straight to the graphical log-in screen (SLiM).

HTH!

You first need to have the service definition provided at all, using the
stanza I gave.

Then, you’ll be able to run ‘deco stop xorg-server’ and similar
commands.

HTH,
