services: xorg: Add xorg-start-command-xinit procedure.
When the user does not use any desktop environment, the typical sequence is to
log in and then type `startx' into the tty to get a window manager running.
Most distributions do provide a startx by default, but Guix has only an
xorg-start-command that is not suitable for this.
This commit adds a second procedure, xorg-start-command-xinit, that correctly
picks a virtual terminal to use, sets up XAUTHORITY and starts xinit with the
correct arguments. That should make running Guix without a desktop
environment more approachable.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command-xinit): New public procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document it.
