I've never had to deal wi= th .xsessionrc before, I am reading different sites on the web, but maybe I= am doing something not in the right way. yes, exactly. > Just in case something went wrong in between, I am following your steps, = and documenting it. > > Regards :) > Laura Now I am trying to get the official way working, that is by sourcing ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, but it does not seem to work yet. (I could of course just source it manually whenever I start a terminal, but this does not feel comfortable) I will have a look if I can simply get it working using . instead of source, or any other reasonable way. (Guix prepares most of the recommended environment variables there) Best regards, g_bor
