Hi!
John Kehayias <john.kehayias@protonmail.com> skribis:
> Here is a little package from the Flatpak folks which is also useful in a guix shell container. This lets you run, for example, xdg-open in the container and it will open on the host side. So let's say you come across a URL, you can just use xdg-open from this package so it will open in the host's web browser, rather than trying in the container. This relies on having portals on the host side, like xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

Interesting (and scary as well, depending on how it’s implemented).
Don’t you need to share /tmp as well? ‘DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS’ refers
to a socket in /tmp for me.

<https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/59825> mentions a build failure on
i686-linux; could you take a look?
Apart from that, it LGTM!
Thanks,
