Hi Guix!

I'm trying to set my user's shell through the Guix configuration system,
but without success.

The syntax I use is:

    (use-package-modules ... shells)

    (operating-system
      ;; ...
      (users (cons (user-account
                    ;; ...
                    (shell (file-append fish "/bin/fish")))
               %base-user-accounts))

It's from `gnu/system/shadow.scm:112`.

I also found a slightly different syntax in thomassgn's config [1]:

    (shell #~(string-append #$bash "/bin/bash"))

… but it does not work either!

Am I doing something wrong?! Any help would be welcome!
