If you are using GDM, this might be due to the way it (used to) start
D-Bus.  See commit dcb3a0fe0a086b4762a721e9b1da64826d5160d0.  If you
have not ran “guix pull” in the last four days, doing so might make this
problem disappear.

We already have a “finance.scm”, which seems appropriate to me.

Hope that helps!
