The last time I looked at our Openbox package, I noticed that it uses a
default menu configuration. That means it has links to stuff like
Firefox, even though we don’t have a Firefox package.
You will have to edit the Openbox menu configuration to point to
programs that you have in your profile. If memory serves, it’s at
“~/.config/openbox/menu.xml”. There, you can tell it how to launch
programs, so you could fix the “emacs” entry to point to
“~/.guix-profile/bin/emacs”, for example. :)
You will have to get started from the console, because Openbox will not
know how to open any terminal emulators.

Unfortunately, I don’t know about LXDE. Just to be sure, how did you
“install” LXDE? Did you include it in your operating system
configuration and then run “guix system reconfigure config.scm”?
