Hello, now it is my turn to experience a problem in this area. I newly installed a machine with the graphical installer of Guix 1.0.1 (where I could use xfce without problem), then I issued a "guix pull" and a "guix system reconfigure". Now logging into XFCE poses problems, which I can reproduce as follows (after removing /var/lib/gdm, $HOME/{.config,.cache,.local} once): - When I remove $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml I can log into XFCE once. - The second time, various problems may occur: The terminal, which was open before opens, but does not receive focus so I cannot type, and the windows decorations for closing it are absent; or the xfce panel is absent. - Then I remove $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml again, and can log in once more. And so on. The following lines in $HOME/.cache/gdm/session.log appear when there is a problem: xfwm4: ../mesa-19.1.4/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/intel_mipmap_tree.c:1293: intel_miptree_match_image: Zusicherung ᅵimage->TexObject->Target == mt->targetᅵ nicht erfᅵllt.

Sorry for the German, but you also have the translation: "Zusicherung ... nicht erfᅵllt" = "assertion ... failed" "auf dem Nachrichten-dbus verloren" = "lost on the message dbus" Andreas
