These configurations were set up wrong, putting the configuration files in
‘config/*’ instead of ‘.config/*’. The
‘home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type’ takes care of putting them in the
right directory.
I didn't know about this service before, it doesn't show up when I ‘guix home
search home’
The example was using a system constructor with a kill destructor, but I don't
think those two work together. I prefer having the application run in the
foreground and using the shepherd way of forking so I have more control.
