There's a subtle and important detail I missed, and I've only noticed it
now.
This returns
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -q --batch --eval '(progn (require (quote exwm)) (print (featurep (quote exwm))))'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
true, whereas
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -q --batch --eval '(print (featurep (quote exwm)))'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
returns nil. But
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -q --batch --eval '(print (fboundp (quote exwm-enable)))'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
returns t (as long as emacs-exwm is installed)!
Therefore the claim that Guix forces a default EXWM config on the users
isn't entirely true.
I was led to think that way since, most likely, I didn't add (require
'exwm) in my Emacs init file. In result, EXWM's symbols were actually
bound, but, due to the lack of the require statement, it was running
with the non-desired default config.
I apologise for my lack of attention.
I'd say that this also qualifies as evidence that the present "magic" is
a double-edge sword.
