+If you intend to use X Toolkit Intrinsics client applications such
+as @command{xterm} then you should define the @code{XFILESEARCHPATH}
+environment variable:
+
+@example
+$ export XFILESEARCHPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/share/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:
+ $HOME/.guix-profile/share/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:
+ $HOME/.guix-profile/share/X11/%T/%N%C%S:

+This (rather long) definition provides the search path which the @code{Xt}
+library uses to search for resource files and other files needed for correct
+running of applications.
