bug#73869: Cannot start EXWM without a display manager

[Oleander]

If I add the startx service, the window manager is initialized but it does not react to any keyboard or touchpad input.

I'm using this config for xorg:

(service xorg-server-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
    (xorg-configuration
     (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)
     (extra-config
      '("Section \"InputClass\"\n"
        "  Identifier \"libinput touchpad catchall\"\n"
        "  Driver \"libinput\"\n"
        "  MatchIsTouchpad \"on\"\n"
        "  MatchDevicePath \"/dev/input/event*\"\n"
        "  Option \"Tapping\" \"on\"\n"
        "  Option \"TappingDrag\" \"on\"\n"
        "  Option \"DisableWhileTyping\" \"on\"\n"
        "EndSection\n"
        "\n"
        "Section \"InputClass\"\n"
        "  Identifier \"USB Mouse Pad USB Mouse Pad Mouse\"\n"
        "  Driver \"libinput\"\n"
        "  Option \"Middle Emulation\" \"on\"\n"
        "  Option \"AccelSpeed\"  \"1.0\""
        "EndSection\n"
        "\n"
        "Section \"Device\"\n"
        "  Identifier \"Intel Graphics\"\n"
        "  Driver \"intel\"\n"
        "  Option \"TearFree\" \"True\"\n"
	"  Option \"DRI\" \"2\"\n"
	"  Option \"AccelMethod\" \"sna\"\n"
        "EndSection"
        "\n"))))
