Hi,

Efraim Flashner <address@hidden> skribis:

I think you shouldn’t copy manually the .desktop file to
~/.configure/autostart, precisely because of that.

Instead this should be done via in indirect GC root (as in “guix build
-r the-root owncloud-client”) or, ideally, by having it GuixSD-managed.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
