Subject: Only Using Openbox (vs GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox); and xfce4-power-manager and polkit

Message-ID: <2109548860.2190201.1637051840371@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 2109548860.2190201.1637051840371.ref@mail.yahoo.com
So I got Guix working on a laptop and've been playing around with the system config.
I've been trying to see how things work and figuring out what to use a service for and what to install a package for. I have part of my config. as so, currently:
(users (cons* (user-account (name "name") (comment "Full N. Ame") (group "users") (home-directory "/home/name") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video"))) %base-user-accounts))(packages (append (list (specification->package "openbox") (specification->package "nss-certs") bc dunst compton inxi-minimal htop lxterminal lxappearance catfish thunar thunar-volman xfce4-power-manager arandr tint2 rofi clipmenu seahorse file-roller gnome-calculator gnome-font-viewer gnome-screenshot gnome-themes-standard papirus-icon-theme font-abattis-cantarell font-fira-code ncdu pulsemixer i3lock nitrogen viewnior) %base-packages))(services (cons* (service slim-service-type (slim-configuration (display ":0") (vt "vt7"))) (modify-services %desktop-services (delete gdm-service-type))))
One of the things I'd like to change is SLiM shows three types of Openbox to start; I'm assuming they all get setup as options with the Openbox package but I'd like to just use Openbox and GNOME/Openbox keeps showing up as the first option so I have to cycle twice to get the one I want every time I login.
Is there a means to remove the other two?
Secondly, trying to start xfce4-power-manager requires having to give a password; given it's a daemon, it feels like it almost should have a correlating service (outside of having to use an entire desktop environment service) but I wasn't able to find one.
Is there a way to start xfce4-power-manager on startup (even if it's just via Openbox's autostart) such that the user's password isn't involved? And, if so, is there a best means to do so within the context of running Guix?
Thanks for any help!
Jonathan
