Hey everyone, I am trying to use EXWM beside the Lightdm as my window manager on Debian. I created this .desktop file which calls a bash script to run Emacs with the expected parameters.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8 
Name=EXWM 
GenericName=EXWM 
Comment=exwm 
MimeType=text/x-makefile;text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-java;application/x-shellscript;text/x-c;text/x-c++;text/x-ruby;text/x-python;text/x-clojure;text/css;text/html;text/x-javascript; 
Type=Application 
Terminal=false 
Categories=Development;TextEditor; 
StartupWMClass=exwm 
Exec=/home/user/src/personal/wm/ew-wm.sh 
Icon=icon 
Version=0.1 
X-LightDM-DesktopName=EXWM 
DesktopNames=EXWM

Here is how I initialize Exwm

(defun wm/initialize ()
  "Initilize EXWM window manager with the given PARAMS."
  (use exwm)
  (interactive)
  (require 'exwm)
  (require 'exwm-config)
  (require 'exwm-systemtray)
  (exwm-config-default)
)

But it ends with this error and warnings

I used the same script on NixOS (except the Lightdm part) and it works without any problems. Could you help me to understand why it can not find xcb:request? I opened an issue on GH of EXWM but did not get any answer.

Exwm error: cl-no-applicable-method xcb:-+request
