Hi, if you are giving a talk for usual Guix usage, I blogged a mis-use of Guix:

    By including nautilus (file manager from gnome) as --ad-hoc argument of
    Guix environment, you can create an illusion of having a GUI shell spawned
    from Guix environment.

It's not something really worth mentioning, but maybe some others might find if
useful to have a GUI shell spawned from guix.
