Hello,

Why is the desktop environment killed?
>From Guix’s viewpoint, the ‘xorg-server’ Shepherd service cannot be
restarted if it’s still running (and indeed, when I run ‘guix system
reconfigure’ from my X11 + Ratpoison setup, Xorg is not killed,
fortunately.) Same for ‘dbus-system’ etc.
I don’t know what else could be killing GNOME et al.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
