Hi Arnaud.  I still have not tested nor reviewed all features, but
some comments:

After I added new packages to home-environment’s packages field,
dmenu_path does not list newly installed packages for me, because it
is a shell script which needs a program called stest in PATH.

Now the wmenu_path I talked about earlier appears to be an invention
by the OpenBSD people that does not need stest [1].

Perhaps for more hackability, we could deviate from upstream and put in
a call to guile with a Scheme script in a computed-file that opens a
pipe to/from wmenu and does the same as dmenu_path without cache only on
~/.guix-home/profile/bin.

Or change the dmenu_path program with `substitute' to use the absolute
file-name of stest.

There is no bg anymore.

Should be point-y.
