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

Hi,

I was able to reproduce a problem (maybe not *the* problem) running
<https://git.sr.ht/~simendsjo/dotfiles/tree/main/item/sijo/home/simendsjo/home-environment.scm>
in ‘guix home container’, with the changes below to simplify setup.

What I noticed is that, until ‘x11-display’ has failed to start (it
necessarily fails to start in the container), shepherd is unresponsive:
any ‘herd’ command hangs.  After that, everything is fine.

This is fixed by
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=ffcd3745e5d8a3e4134ae76fe94a5ec80f52c465>.

It would be great if you could give it a try because I’m not sure this
is exactly the problem you were having, but it may be related at least.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
