Unlike full-blown desktop environments (GNOME, Xfce, KDE), I don’t think
any of these window managers needs a service, because they typically fit
in one package with just one command that needs to be launched.
Compare this with ‘gnome-service-type’, which needs to extend Polkit and
to add a whole bunch of packages to /run/current-system/profile so that
it can work.
ratpoison doesn’t need anything like that. :-)
I’m closing this bug, but let me know if you think I’m overlooking
something!
Thank you,
Ludo’.
