Would it be a good idea to provide XDM? I have been using it a lot (especially in the form of xenodm under OpenBSD) together with .xinitrc and I cannot remember ever having any issue with it. It would probably be easy to make it a standard option. Maybe port xenodm back if there are interesting bug fixes or features in there that are not in xdm. I wish I had more time to do better research or write some code for Guix, but I've not right now. =E2=80=94Marco
