I should have specified that this is a Guix system machine.

I am not sure, to be honest. Here, I tried to report a minimally
reproducible example of wider issues, such as documented here [1]. I
don't know if they are directly related though.

I will try this. If push comes to shove, I could re-install a new Guix
system, reinstall my packages from my manifest and re-configure my
system and home config. This is among the reasons that brought me to
Guix in the first place, so why not make use of it.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
