Subject: bug#75709: also with guix home
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:01:17 +0100

Ni! Hi everyone.

Having the same issue here.

I'm using `emacs-pgtk` with Guix Home on Guix System, so it's Guix (Home) itself is producing all my profile variables and shell init scripts.

My home configuration is very plain and doesn't touch shell init in any relevant way. Here's the bash-config part:

```
(home-bash-configuration
                   (aliases '(("ema" . "emacs -nw")
                              ("emc" . "emacsclient -nw")))
                   (environment-variables '(("EDITOR" . "emacs"))))
```

And here's my EMACS vars after starting a fresh session:

```
$ env | grep EMACS
EMACSNATIVELOADPATH=/home/user/.guix-home/profile/lib/emacs/native-site-lisp:/home/user/.guix-home/profile/lib/emacs/native-site-lisp
EMACSLOADPATH=/home/user/.guix-home/profile/share/emacs/site-lisp:/home/user/.guix-home/profile/share/emacs/site-lisp
```

And just in case, here are the list of 'emacs-' packages in my home profile:

```
"emacs-atomic-chrome"
"emacs-company"
"emacs-geiser"
"emacs-geiser-guile"
"emacs-guix"
"emacs-ibuffer-vc"
"emacs-magit"
"emacs-marginalia"
"emacs-markdown-mode"
"emacs-nov-el"
"emacs-olivetti"
"emacs-paredit"
"emacs-pgtk"
"emacs-python-black"
"emacs-undo-tree"
"emacs-yaml-mode"
"emacs-yasnippet"
"emacs-yasnippet-snippets"
```

Does this help spot something? What can I do to help?

ale
