["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi Timothy,

Well done!

[...]

> Between these patches, Guillaume’s XWayland patch from
> <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51900>, deleting at-spi2-core from the
> gnome package (cf. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51916>), and removing
> two broken video drivers from %default-xorg-modules (mach64 and
> nouveau), I could boot into GNOME 40 on QEMU!

Yay!  We’re getting there!
