Recently, however, I decided to fallback to another= DE or Window Manager (WM) because of a memory issue in GNOME (see https://= lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-02/msg00206.html). So far I have = installed XFCE, MATE and sway, but, in all of them I can't open most files = using their default file managers: Thunar (XFCE), Caja (MATE), Nautilus (sw= ay [not really a default]). Performing the following operations to open files from file managers fail f= or most file types (PNG, PDF, HTML, ODT, SVG, ...): =E2=80=A2 Double clicking a file. =E2=80=A2 Pressing Enter on a file. =E2=80=A2 Right clicking a file and selecting the default app for that kind= of file. =E2=80=A2 Right clicking a file and selecting another application from a li= st of suggested apps. The only kind of file that opens correctly so far is MP3. Doing the following from a terminal opens files correctly in the default ap= plications: $ xdg-open path/to/file.png $ xdg-open path/to/file.pdf (Note that I never use xdg-utils directly to manipulate MIME types and defa= ult apps associations. I leave that to GUIs provided by DEs.)

The problem is fixed, but the fix is not in production yet. However, I can confirm that the workaround described in that issue report fixes all the problems I mentioned in my original messages. So, opening files through Thunar on Xfce, Caja on MATE and Nautilus on sway works correctly if you modify your system configuration so that it imports "(gnu packages glib)" and adds "(list glib "bin")" to the list of packages.

Recently, however, I decided to fallback to another= DE or Window Manager (WM) because of a memory issue in GNOME (see https://= lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-02/msg00206.html). So far I have = installed XFCE, MATE and sway, but, in all of them I can't open most files = using their default file managers: Thunar (XFCE), Caja (MATE), Nautilus (sw= ay [not really a default]). Performing the following operations to open files from file managers fail f= or most file types (PNG, PDF, HTML, ODT, SVG, ...): =E2=80=A2 Double clicking a file. =E2=80=A2 Pressing Enter on a file. =E2=80=A2 Right clicking a file and selecting the default app for that kind= of file. =E2=80=A2 Right clicking a file and selecting another application from a li= st of suggested apps. The only kind of file that opens correctly so far is MP3. Doing the following from a terminal opens files correctly in the default ap= plications: $ xdg-open path/to/file.png $ xdg-open path/to/file.pdf (Note that I never use xdg-utils directly to manipulate MIME types and defa= ult apps associations. I leave that to GUIs provided by DEs.)
