make sure it start with a shebang line, which should be: #!/bin/sh sxhkd -c $HOME/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc & polybar -c $HOME/.config/polybar/config & exec bspwm -c $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc > > At first I've tried: exec bspwm > And it still doesn't work. > > The issue that I'm not understanding is the bspwmrc file isn't being read > after logging in so I have to open a terminal and do this. > > source $HOME/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc > > Looking at my config.scm file, I've noticed that services-type-desktop only > shows XFCE.

I believe 'exec bspwm' will read bspwmrc from the right location , that file is for bspwm not for shell (to be sourced). > > At the login screen, although XFCE and BSPWM are both installed there is > only a login prompt.

Okay, bspwm does have a share/xsessions/bspwm.desktop file, so if you put it in the 'packages' field of the 'operating-system', it should be available in the gdm login manager. To allow selected xfce to run, use 'exec "$@"' in ~/.xsession instead of 'exec bspwm'. Hope this will be helpful!
