Hey!
Thanks for getting back to me on this! :)

Yeah I know that they both have a check for the pid file, I remember
finding your bug report and patch earlier and hoping that it would fix
my issues, although now I understand that this would never have helped.
I thought that they might still both try to start shepherd, since
neither check nor execution of shepherd is atomic, so I figured they
might end up both starting shepherd, one creating the pid and starting,
the other failing to create it and crashing, but I couldn't think of why
the first one would stop as well then. Anyway, I guess that is
completely wrong if they don't actually ever get run at the same time :)

My ~/.xinitrc is literally just:
exec /gnu/store/rl6f55i52lldzmbgg6z0ywr41ni4kbjg-herbstluftwm-0.9.4/bin/herbstluftwm --autostart /gnu/store/lqif0y90y7ipvf9aakdjisygnffk4999-autostart
I use the lightdm display manager installed with the Archlinux package
manager.
My home configuration on my laptop should be based on this:
https://git.sr.ht/~ryuslash/dotfiles/tree/7771b3e1fd16a30bee09b11ecbaf2b1b69b3921b/item/oni/home/data/config.scm
It's spread across a few files, so if there's anything specific you want
to know please tell me, or if you need it in a different format I can
provide that too, I figured this would be the easiest way.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Tom
