Somewhere in you $PATH… startx witch:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/sh
DIR=$HOME/.guix-profile
# Automatically determine an unused $DISPLAY
d=0
while true ; do
[ -e "/tmp/.X$d-lock" -o -S "/tmp/.X11-unix/X$d" ] || break
d=$(($d + 1))
done
defaultdisplay=":$d"
unset d
# Get current tty
tty_num=$(tty | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')
vtarg="vt$tty_num -keeptty"
$DIR/bin/xinit -- $DIR/bin/Xorg $defaultdisplay $vtarg \
-configdir $DIR/share/X11/xorg.conf.d \
-modulepath $DIR/lib/xorg/modules
#+END_SRC
In your guix user profile manifest:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(define %packages-xorg
(list
"xorg-server"
"xf86-video-amdgpu"
"xf86-input-libinput"
"xf86-input-wacom"
"xinit"))
(concatenate-manifests
(list (specifications->manifest
(append %packages-xorg
%packages-desktop-hlwm
%packages-desktop-windowmaker
%packages-desktop-wms-complementary
%packages-desktop-complementary
%packages-fonts
%packages-complementary))
#+END_SRC
