Subject: bug#41057: core-updates: GNOME Weather doesn't start
Date: Sun, 03 May 2020 18:22:05 +0000

This happens in both master and core-updates, although it seems to fail with a different error in the former (see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39324). It also happens in both real machine and virtual machine.


## Steps to reproduce

Assuming you are using the Guix System with GNOME:

1. Go to Activities → Show Applications (nine dots button) → All → Weather


## Expected result

GNOME Weather starts.


## Unexpected result

You see the GNOME Weather application menu loading next to the "Activities" button in the GNOME desktop. But, after a few seconds, the application menu disappears  and GNOME Weather never starts. 


## Additional information

In my real machine, running GNOME Weather from a terminal fails too with the following message:

```
$ gnome-weather 
Unsatisfied dependency: Gdk
```

In a virtual machine, however, GNOME Weather starts when run from a terminal.

In both, real and virtual machines, GNOME Weather starts when run from the minishell (press Alt+F2 and enter gnome-weather).


## System information

```
GNOME Weather 3.34.0
