Hello Pierre,

I saw that discussion last June but probably I missed something: have
you already sent a patch to request emacs-lucid inclusion in master?

Given the size "issue" of emacs-with-gtk and the emacs warning on the
long standing Gtk+ bug:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this problem.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

IMHO it's useful to have emacs-lucid in official Guix, with subsitutes
available for end users (I'm not using emacs in daemon mode over X11
over SSH for fear of chrashes).

Thanks a lot for your recipe!

P.S.: I also know there's the http://issues.guix.gnu.org/41732#7
"Implement a wrapper so users can build the Emacs packages using a
version of their choosing" patch around, but it's for a different
(expert) use case AFAIU
