Hi Guix,

Is there a reason why the sway package doesn't create a sway.desktop file
in *out*/share/wayland-sessons for GDM? I see that most X tiling wms create
on in *out*/share/xsessons.

I tried adding one myself by copying the code from herbstluftwm and modify
it but got stuck on permissions when I tried to run guix built from my
local clone. So before I continue debugging that I though I would ask.

Thanks

Sway does create a sway.desktop in %out/share/wayland-sessions. The
problem is that our GDM currently doesn't support wayland. Others who
are using sway are using SDDM in place of GDM.

Ah, should have searched a little bit better. Thanks for the
clarification. I'll look into setting up SDDM.
