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’.
