Current home-xdg-user-directories-service-type creates a
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs which some non posix-compliant shells like fish
aren't able to read, this makes necessary to use some external tool like
fish-foreign-env, but this solution makes fish startup times really
slower in the case fish sources it in a non-login shell.
After thinking about it for a bit, I guess it would be proper if guix
itself was responsible for setting these environment variables. This
could avoid the need for users of other non-posix shells to make their
own custom workarounds for this problem.
