Hello Kei and Michael, Thank you for your work. I'm sorry that I lack technical expertise to comment on the patch, nor am I able to test it. I'm also not sure about if I should send this email or not because I could not provide any insights into this issue. Please inform me if you find this email annoying. Again, thank you for your work!

The path to the gettext binary must be patched as well since gettext is used for printing the help menu. Aside from that, it seems like Xfce, when installed as a system-wide desktop environment, does not look in the user's Guix profile for plugins. Panel modules are located by Xfce in the directories listed in the X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS environment variable. For my Xfce configuration, X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS contains only /run/current-system/profile/lib/xfce4. To work around this issue on your own machine for the time being, you can add the desired Xfce plugins to the list of packages in your Guix operating system configuration. In the long-term, it will be worth determining the best way to add the proper directories from the user's Guix profile to the list of directories in X_XFCE4_LIB_DIRS. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

bug#44916: No option to add whisker menu to xfce panel after installing package xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin.
After doing a fresh install of Guix system using the graphics install menu and picking the xfce option, I decided to substitute xfce's "Applications" menu with the "Whisker" menu. Thus, I used command "guix install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin" to install the package. After a system reboot, I opened the menu for adding items to the xfce panel. However, the option "Whisker Menu" isn't there. I asked this problem on irc and irc user "mroh" told me that this plugin looks broken and they will try to fix it. They also asked me to make a bug report: > mroh | PotentailUser-53: that plugin does indeed looks broken: > ~/.guix-profile/bin/xfce4-popup-whiskermenu: line 47: > /gnu/store/clmv25gbfjrajvh8bsnhfj3w86kry004-xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-2.4.6/bin/xfce4-panel: > No such file or directory Regards.
