I also started using EXWM recently and it works without any issues
for me (actually it works better than I expected).
However, I use the default login manager (elogind) from
%desktop-services, which picks up EXWM automatically for me. I don't
manually start the X server, which is why I didn't previously chime in.
FWIW, here's the relevant snippet from my /etc/config.scm:
(packages (append
(map specification->package
'("emacs"
"emacs-exwm"
"emacs-desktop-environment"
"nss-certs"))
%base-packages))
(services (append
(list (service xfce-desktop-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
%desktop-services))
You'll notice that I also install XFCE alongside EXWM, just in case (and
because I used it before I started configuring EXWM).
