bug#39527: A new information on LXQt DE not "logging in"

Hello guys,

I have come to realise something which might be of interest, but which might also be something which is well known to you.

When trying to launch LXQt from the GDM login/session manager, the screen just went blank and nothing happened. This is why I assumed "it simply doesnt work". Now I have switched to another login manager, and logging in to LXQt works - only that I am directly prompted to specify which WM I wanted to use. I was unable to locate one under /usr/bin (only /usr/bin/env seems to live there) and thus had to go to the /gnu/store directory.

So I assume that the problem might either be a "personal one" where I have forgotten to set some path (even though I have not received a particular warning of sorts). Or it is a problem that, either generally or specific to LXQt, I would call the "linking" situation -- that not completely supported packages just dont (yet) know about the location of the binaries.

That said, it is possible that to you guys, this is nothing noteworthy because it is clear. It's just that to me, it wasn't because I'm learning both guile and the linux ecosystem. Thus, if the problem at hand is simply a general problem, it is not a bug. Which means that the topic can be closed, if there is nothing to add :)

have a good day folks, guix rules
