[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Ni!

After installing org.signal.Signal with flatpak, `flatpak run org.signal.Signal` fails with the message below. I tried adding `xdg-utils` (which provides xdg-settings) to my system or my user profile, or to both, to no avail. Any ideas? Anyone has Signal Desktop working on Guix? Thanks! ale .~´

$ flatpak run org.signal.Signal

Note that the directories

'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/eris/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'

are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
