I tested in ‘guix system vm’ on ‘master’. The welcome screen is fairly
gray (do you know how we can change the background image?); it does show
the list of users, specifically those that have a proper password set:
Logging into GNOME works and screen locking works as well.
I didn’t find a way to select a session other than GNOME, though.
How’s that supposed to work?
Thanks,
