Subject: bug#37422: Setting keyboard layout with SLiM login manager doesn't work

Hi everyone!

I've tried using the default Polish keyboard layout with
SLiM and it doesn't seem to work - the system reconfigures properly
with no single error or warning, then after rebooting and logging in,
the layout is unavailable - only the US layout. The Polish layout is
aviable in tty's, but not in X sessions. I've run guix pull
several days ago.

This is my configuration:

(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "pl" "legacy"))

[...]

(service slim-service-type
	 (slim-configuration
	 (display ":0")
	 (vt "vt7")))
(set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration
			(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))
			slim-service-type)

PS tried sending this message to
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/26234 
but it got lost. Is it an accident, or is sending messages to closed
issues impossible?
