Our xcalc package launches something that I can't figure out how to use.
This is with Guix on Debian.
Can anyone reproduce it?
Debian's xcalc looks like I'd expect.
I've attached screenshots.
Does anyone have any ideas about what's wrong?

I can reproduce it just fine using `guix shell xcalc -- xcalc`. The
issue is that the application is styled using a resource file, in
./lib/X11/app-defaults/, which is supposed to be loaded by libxt.
Looking at gnu/packages/patches/libxt-guix-search-paths.patch, the
search paths only take into account the user's home directory and the
value of GUIX_PROFILE.
Doing `guix shell xcalc`, followed by `GUIX_PROFILE="$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT"
xcalc` works for me. It should work when installed in the default Guix
profile, but this is pretty ugly.
This should also be the case for all libxt applications.
WDYT?
Best,
Josselin Poiret

Ah, thanks for investigating. I confirm it works fine when installed
into my profile.

Hm, I'd have to think about how to improve it. What do people think?

The usual way of fixing this kind of problem in Guix would be to add a
search path, so that it works in any profile.
Would you like to give it a try? Otherwise, feel free to close the
issue if you lost interest in it.
