In the manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Networking-Services it
says The (gnu system networking) module provides services to configure the
network interface. Not (gnu services networking), I'll try that one though.

I am not sure how WM searches for them, but definitely not in
~/.guix-profile, but I am not sure about this.

There must be a way around this since it probably searches in /bin and
/usr/bin, but their is a way to go around it if you could add the path
/gnu/store/*xterm(or whatever*/bin/xterm(or whatever
