Re: multiple issues with Epiphany in GuixSD 0.14.0

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

My message applies to GNU Guix only (the packaage manager which can be
installed in any distro), not the GuixSD (system distribution).

Please, those who know how XDG specifications should be dealt with by/in
GuixSD, please reply.

With all that in mind, here follows my message:

I don't use Epiphany anymore, but I recall that you have to install
Adwaita and Hicolor icon theme from GNU Guix. I don't know if this
applies to GuixSD as well (it might have other ways of dealing with
icons).

Besides, I don't know if this applies to GuixSD, but after installing
the icon themes in GNU Guix, those who use other distros
with a specific issue in Xsession.d scripts have to algment the
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable in a special way (by copying its current value,
inserting the export declaration in the user's profile, but with the
paths suggested by GNU Guix, followed by the manually copied original
values, that is: one can't relly on conditional expansion in the case of
XDG_DATA_DIRS).


Finally, the issue with the website you mentioned will be dealt in a
separate message.
