Subject: How to appease GDM so I can login with another window manager?
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 05:47:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sfedw3j9.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
Dear Guix,
I am using herbstluftwm as my window manager on my old Guix laptop. It
shows up as an option in a bottom right corner of GDM. On my new laptop,
this menu doesn't show up. In both cases I have included herbstluftwm as
a required package in my config.scm file. My old laptop's config.scm
makes no mention of herbstluftwm in the configuration anywhere else than
in bringing in the package. However, I further know that this package
does create an xsession output to a herbstluftwm.desktop file under
/gnu/store.
Does anyone have any ideas what the missing incantation is to make
herbstluftwm (or any other relatively niche window manager with a
.desktop file) show up on the GDM menu?
Thanks,
Kyle
