It does sound like our GuixSD setup fails to activate org.a11y.Bus
though.  Should we add a service in %desktop-services that extends
‘dbus-root-service-type’ with ‘at-spi2-core’ to ensure that
auto-activation works?

I think we should strive to provide accessible environments when
possible, as with GNOME.

Thanks,
