When trying to reload awesome window manager in-place, it restarts X and
sends me back to the graphical login. It's only supposed to flash for a
second and not even kill any programs. Sometimes I'm able to see something
like "login command failed" printed on the screen.

To recreate this, install the "awesome" package, log in to it, and either
press control-super-r or open the menu in the top left and go to awesome ->
restart.

guix version:
guix (GNU Guix) 1c17adbc7957d024158948a853f4fbc22e52a0f6

I've since moved to Sway and am planning to stick with Wayland. I don't
recall the issue ever being fixed while I was still using awesomewm, but
not sure if it works now. Should be easy enough to test if someone was
interested. I'm fine with this being closed since I'm no longer using
awesomewm.

Using Guix 6113e05 and configuration below (adding ’awesome’ in
gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl), I am not able to
reproduce. Therefore, I am closing.

If someone has more information and also hits this bug, please reopen.

Cheers,
simon
