That's the daemon, which apparently requires root whereas you're
running it as non-root (see Error opening device.  Try

(not sure if the -E is 
$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure touchegg -- sudo -E touchegg --daemon

and

$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure touchegg -- touchegg

instead.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Hi Maxime,

I will send an updated version of the package that works with a Shepherd service.
