LXQt has recently been added to guix's master branch. Please run `guix
pull` to update your guix. And there is no need to copy lxqt.scm from
elsewhere.

Please note that LXQt in guix is still immature. lxqt-runner is buggy,
and lxqt-panel simply does not work. If you want to help with the
development, have a look at this previous thread:
