Hello Guix,

kiwix-desktop doesn't start. Depending on the environment, I get
different error messages:

Variant #A (pure environment, in GDM session)
$ guix time-machine --commit=20a687bbfbc72ffcd802b4bc59db344ad4291577
environment --ad-hoc --pure kiwix-desktop -- kiwix-desktop

Not sure what's going on here, but here's a GDB backtrace:

With ‘–-pure’, the process will run in a container that doesn’t have
access to the X server, this is expected behavior.

This is a bug, look like kiwix-desktop should be wrapped with some
environment variables.  In the meantime, you can install qtwebengine and
qtbase into the profile, or use: guix environment --ad-hoc kiwix-desktop
qtbase qtwebengine -- kiwix-desktop
