So I tried removing ~(requirement '(x11-display))~ from =redshift-shepherd-service= but that resulted in an error from ~string-append~ (trying to append ~#f~). So I commented out the adjustment of the =DISPLAY= variable in ~#:environment-variables~ and that resulted in, finally, no errors but Redshift, nevertheless, failing. Since the environment variable was returning ~#f~, I hardcoded it to "0:0" and set =WAYLAND_DISPLAY= to "wayland-1"; and that did the trick! At least, it seems so; I see it running in =htop=, now; going to have to wait until later tonight to see if things get less blue.

I do not use redshift nor wayland, so this is based just on a quick look at the
service definition. If you check the gnu/home/services/desktop.scm file,
definition of redshift-shepherd-service, you will see that the dependency on
x11-display is non-conditional.
As a test, you could just remove the requirement from the shepherd service and
see if that helps. If it does work, the dependency should probably be made
optional. I do not know if there is something like wayland-display service.

Guix Home Issues: Redshift Service Won't Run (Problem with Wayland?)
I dunno if anyone would be able to help but I've had this issue where
the Redshift home service just won't run.
My config. is below but, as it's (relatively) long, I'll put it last.
Looking at ~herd status redshift~, it says that it's stopped and
disabled but, I also noticed, says it requires =x11-display=. I'm
guessing this may be a reason the service keeps getting disabled and
refuses to run?
But Redshift works with Wayland (I'm using the =redshift-wayland=
package); is there something I'm supposed to do to get the service to
play nice with Wayland? I'm running XWayland.
Not as pressing (or clear as to what might be wrong) but I've had
trouble getting the batsignal service to work right, as well. That one
does seem to run (I can see a running instance on my machine) but it
doesn't ever provide notifications. It worked the /first/ time I
ran/installed it and hasn't ever worked since – it never gives any
notifications for anything I set. I'm pretty certain it works if I run
=batsignal= manually, though (just not when ran via the service). Any
ideas?
