Hello,
I am using guix on Debian. The default path for guix is:
$HOME/.guix-profile/bin and sbin
And I am using login manager lightdm, so the default PATH cannot be
read. I guess, that /etc/login.defs have to be changed for each user to
include $PATH correctly.
Otherwise, how is system supposed to know that default $PATH is
~/.guix-profile/bin? among others?

In GuixSD, this is done by `/etc/profile' which is read by sh-compatible
login shells:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ -f "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile" ]
then
# Load the user profile's settings.
GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" \
. "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile"
else
# At least define this one so that basic things just work
# when the user installs their first package.
export PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH"
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hello,
Thank you much.
I have solved that by using ~/.xsession like below. And I use zsh, but
for X it was required to give PATH before Window Manager starts.
cat .xsession
PATH=/home/data1/protected/Programming/git/fgallery:/home/data1/protected/.guix-profile/bin:/home/data1/protected/.guix-profile/sbin:/home/data1/protected/bin:/home/data1/protected/bin/facebook:/home/data1/protected/bin/CRM:/home/data1/protected/bin/ses:/home/data1/protected/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
exec icewm-session
