I would guess that Openbox has a default menu somewhere, and if you copy that to “~/.config/openbox/menu.xml”, you will be able to use it to change the menu you see. You can probably find it by running “guix build openbox” and looking around it the directory that gets printed as output. For example, when I run “guix build openbox”, Guix prints “/gnu/store/9cayp0c39v8xnwwhai0jgp0rd56arai4-openbox-3.6.1” (you might get something different if we are running different versions of Guix). In that folder, there is a file, “./etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml”, which is the default menu. Copy it to “~/.config/openbox/menu.xml”, and then you will be able to edit the menu. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I haven’t used Openbox for a few years, and I’ve never used it on Guix. > Also my ~/.guix-profile/bin is very unpopulated.

If you run “guix install emacs”, Guix will install Emacs into your user profile, which gets linked from “~/.guix-profile”. It’s not installed by default. > W.r.t. how I “installed” lxde (just by guix install lxde). Do I need > to reconfigure every time I install something? Only for “system” stuff. If you want to change things like which daemons are running you need to reconfigure. The reason I asked is that I wanted to know if LXDE was in your user profile or in the system profile. Do you use GDM? If so, you’ll need to add LXDE to your system profile for GDM to find it and provide it as an option when logging in. To do so, you need to edit your operating system configuration file. First, you need to use the “lxde” module so that Guile knows where to find the “lxde” package: (use-modules (gnu packages lxde)) Then, you can add “lxde” to your other system packages: (operating-system ... (packages (cons* lxde ... %base-packages)) ...) After this, you will need to reconfigure. I’m not an LXDE user either, but if I wanted to become one, that’s what I’d do. Hope that helps! -- Tim
