Hi Guix,

as of the past weeks, windows for GTK/Gnome applications (Console,
Web, Settings, ...) do not render correctly anymore on my Guix /
Gnome desktop. I've attached a screenshot of the Console
application, similar empty windows without title bar are shown when I
start the other listed GTK applications. Other applications (Emacs,
vlc, Icecat, GIMP) work correctly.

I'm currently on guix 5efefe2, but the problem has been there for 10
or so (I think since I pulled on 3 july so). I've been regularly
pulling and updating in hope that the issue might have been solved,
but no luck so far :)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Thomas

Have you done some progress on this? Is it still an issue for you?

Cheers,

Hi Simon,

no progress unfortunately. I must say I'm quite far from guix
development nowadays, so all I've really done is run guix pull and
system reconfigure regularly, in hope that some update would fix the
issue ;-)

Would you have any idea where to look?

Thomas
