But did you actually tried what I wrote?: $ `guix build xfontsel`/bin/xfontsel > The XAPPLRESDIR is no longer required because the libxt library has > been patched. Oh, I didn't know about this "libxt-guix-search-paths.patch". I think now I understand: with this patch, xfontsel and other programs should work only when they are installed from the usual guix profiles (system and user ones), right? In my opinion, this is the wrong approach. A user may install these programs in non-standard profiles. For example, I don't use "~/.guix-profile" at all; instead I use several other profiles, so there is no chance for me to have 'xfontsel' work properly. Also, I think a program should preferably work when it is started directly from store. So I strongly believe that using wrappers was the right approach, and we should return to it. -- Alex
