Could you perhaps provide > an example to illustrate the issue? Sorry, I wrote that in a rather tired state. What I meant to write was: xfce4-terminal runs as a **server** and when it opens a new window, that inherits its environment from the server, not from the calling environment. What I want to do is open a new terminal from a guix environment shell that has the exact same environment variables. > What environment variables should be propagated from where to where? All of them, that's the point.
