bug#38418: EXWM fails to start after a "reconfigure": split-string error

Perhaps installing Emacs alongside EXWM (in the same profile) would resolve your issue? HTH, Maxim

After all, it already handles multiple-profiles properly for so > many other things! :) TBH I don't understand all the problems related to multiple-profiles that were discussed and "solved" recently. I have been using multiple profiles for at least 5 years (I don't even have ~/.guix-profile on my disk) and I have not had any serious problems, just some small obstacles that can be easily overpassed. Anyway, what I have written is not related to the bug, sorry for the noise :-) -- Alex

It uses a hybrid of techniques found in the previous and current site-start.el, and uses a custom GUIX_EMACSLOADPATH instead of EMASCLOADPATH for full control of the load path without interference from Emacs default behavior. I'll post the new patches to "guix-patches", after I'll have them rebased on what's in master. A particular thank you to Clément for spending time testing (and pushing) the reworked patches authored by the one who broke their setup ;-). Maxim
