Hi everyone,

There are currently 4(maybe more?) different approaches for a Guix GUI:
1. Guix backend for PackageKit (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/17152)
2. A GTK program written by Danny Milosavljevic in Guile (https://gitlab.com/daym/guix-gui/)
3. A Qt program written for a non-FSDG distro downstream of Guix System (https://git.pantherx.org/development/applications/px-software)
4. Emacs-Guix, currently broken (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55013)

Which of these should be worked on? I tried packaging guix-gui, but it doesn't work without the workaround mentioned in the README.
I think packaging it should wait until the guile-gi bug[1] is fixed.
