Pressing Ctrl with any mouse button displays menus for me without any
error. Did you install any font in your profile? Try for example,
"guix package -i font-dejavu". Perhaps you will also need to run
"fc-cache -f".
To make Xterm use a font I want, I have these lines in my ~/XTerm (it
can also be placed in ~/.Xresources I think):
XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 12
