[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I'm an EXWM user on GuixSD. Lately I had the need to use adb (Android
debugger), for which I modified my `config.scm` file. I removed the
`%desktop-services` variable and instead modified it so that my phone
device could be detected. This was done because I got a message that dbus
(and udev sometimes) was being used by another service.

Now, my phone is detected with adb, but I'm unable to use EXWM from the
login screen at startup; it doesn't launch at all. When I choose
"emacs-exwm" from the login screen options, I'm thrown back at login. (Xfce
option works fine, however.)

I would really appreciate if you could check my config.scm file attached
help me to get EXWM from login screen back again.

If this may be the wrong channel for this issue, please let me know the
proper channel for this issue.

Thank you.

Youganon
