FWIW, xfce4-pane shouldn't be including tzdata in the first place. 
It's a package like nss-certs and le-certs: it contains facts about the
outside world that are independent of the current installation, so it
needs to look in environment variables ($TZDIR) instead, possibly with
a fallback to /usr/share/zoneinfo (for foreign distros and --pure).

More concretely, if you're using
"guix time-machine --commit=... -- shell xfce-FOO -- xfce-FOO", then
unless 'tzdata' is explicitly passed to 'shell', xfce-FOO needs to look
into $TZDIR or /usr/share/zoneinfo, such that dates are still
encoded/decoded correctly.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Vaguely makes sense, maybe I'll look at that later. Here I'm just 
updating the input labels

The description seems rather pointless to me because the package is
hidden (and hence, not visible to "guix show").
It could be put in a comment though.  Additionally, as-is, this won't
be picked up for translation, maybe do
(string-append ... (P_ "foo bar ...")) instead.

Greetings,
Maxime.

[bug#54434] [PATCH v2 0/7] XFCE Updates

['Brendan Tildesley]

This also includes a new 7th patch for xfce4-session. This allows panel
plugins to be loaded. For example I have xfce4-screenshooter installed, but
the screenshot panel plugin was not listed in xfces settings. Now it is. It
may be too much bother for you to test this patch. For me, it sets this in my
environment after logging in to xfce:

X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS=/home/b/.guix-profile/lib/xfce4/:/run/current-system/profile/lib/xfce4

which successfully makes xfce4-panel load libscreenshooterplugin.so.

“Polkit” is really called “Polkit”; “PolicyKit” was its predecessor and
it’s important to distinguish them.

I’m not convinced this package needs to be made public though because
it’s not meant to be installed manually.

WDYT?

I felt packages should have a justification for being hidden rather than 
unhidden :)
If it should be hidden then mate-polkit its' self may as well be..? But 
you can
have it which ever way you want.
What bad thing happens when it isn't hidden? Making work for translators?

Looks like leading stars disappeared from the commit log.  :-)

A single line stating what the patch does would be enough.

There’s extra space at the beginning of the line.

One problem is that this won’t work for those using Guix Home, where the
default profile is ~/.guix-home/profile.

Can this extra variable be avoided?  Or could it be handled by a search
path specification?

I’ve applied the other patches in the meantime.

Thanks!

It's xfce4-panel that needs the search path to load .so files for panel 
plugins.
xfce4-panel already has the search-path set to load them, but since its 
installed
to the system profile,it does not load the user installed plugins. If 
xfce4-panel
was a user installed package it may work but userswould have to manually 
install it.
So I'm not sure how else to solve it.

What happen when version of xfce4-panel installed in system profile is
different from installed in home profile?

I think xfce4-panel will be run from $PATH so the system version will
be picked first and the user installed one will be ignored. The search
path will be set but will not work until the user logs out and back in
again, which is not ideal. I'd like a user to be able to install a plugin
and have it appear in the settings menu immediately.

Maybe it will first find xfce.desktop in <user-profile>/share/xsessions,
then in <system-profile>/share/xsessions.

Hello, when the version of xfce4-panel and its plugins are different,
xfce4-panel may crash, unable to start.  I think it's best keep them in
one profile, and prefer user's profile.  Well, the polkit actions need
installed into the system profile though.

We have X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS as a search-path-specification now, closing.

If the user installs XFCE manually in the profile, I'm not sure it will
find locally installed plugins anyway will it? I haven't tested it. I
use XFCE installed globally via the service.

With XFCE in the local profile it is not possible for a login manager to
detect and launch it, so to use it with a login manager it must be
installed globally, just like on any other distro. I guess that is
acceptable.

Perhaps it is ok to let the user take responsibility for any such
incompatibility that may occur?
