Hi Guix,

Launching a program from the start menu of the Mate desktop (as provided

by the ‘mate-desktop-service-type’) currently (commit: 41ee209) fails.

The error message complains about a missing ‘gio-launch-desktop’ (found

in the “bin” output of ‘glib’).

This can be worked around by adding ‘(list glib "bin")’ to the list of

global packages in the ‘operating-system’ configuration.

Regards,

Diego

Anyone working on this?

I have this error for a few months now both on Mate and XFCE.

I could try fixing this, but have no clue where to start. Any

suggestions?
