[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

On one system running GuixSD, Gnome Shell crashes when opening the
activities overview (super key, or clicking on the activities button in
the top left).

Yes, I’ve fixed this on the staging branch for the gnome-shell package.
This also fixes another crash we saw when displaying notifications.
