I wouldn't mind if the XLibre guys did a fork of this that just fixed how browsers behave and to showcase XLibre-specific features not on legacy Xorg, IE Xnamespaces, whatever comes next.

I might be wrong, but isn’t any app with the org.freedesktop.*.* nomenclature a flatpak?

Not exclusively.

I have also since learned a little more about this issue. I am fairly certain now that the issue is due to systemd changing their defaults. If you look at how open_temporary_icon_file() works upstream it utilizes g_get_tmp_dir(), which the glib docs mentions uses TMPDIR and falls back to /tmp if it isnt set. So unless AccountsService sets its own TMPDIR (it doesnt), then this naturally lands in your shared /tmp which doesn't work anymore for reasons stated previously.

But there's no need to rewrite the entire thing to set a custom directory for this, after skimming the source I found that you can actually fix this by changing a single line of code; that being g_get_tmp_dir() with get_icondir() This is an internal helper thats already defined in accountsservice's util.c that retrieves the static icon directory variable. This base path is /var/lib/AccountsService/icons, which is a fixed directory exposed to accountsservices. So basically a patch can have it stage icons right there instead.

I wrote one to test this and can confirm it fixes the problem without the need for an override exposing your system's /tmp

Yall niggas need to put more respect on Openbox's name. I reject your tiling modernity in favour of stacking tradition.

Ran Openbox on Debian for a while with tint2 taskbar, jgmenu startmenu and PCmanFM for desktop icons. It was the most stable system I have ever used. Shoutouts to IceWM too:

Why do people like tiling window managers? I don't really get it. I usually don't want to see applications that I'm not using, so why have them take up screen real estate? There are relatively few scenarios where I'd want a screen split between several applications.

Use one only on my work computer. ultrawide, I simply want three quadrants.

It's really nice on ultrawide monitors, it can be a bit of an annoyance whenever you want to see a picture or something and you quickly open it only for it to screw up your entire workspace. I don't prefer one over the other, they're just different.

@Ferryman so i see in the exwm tutorial they want me to use their systemcrafters config
im kind of skipping around i got through some of the emacs from scratch and im moving onto exwm
it says to install fonts-cantarell and fira-code
i see fira-code in the guix repo and gnome presumably comes with cantarell but i want to have that in my config.scm separate from gnome so when i eventually uninstall it ill still have the font

https://systemcrafters.net/emacs-desktop-environment/getting-started-with-exwm/

i see the a cantarell font here but im not sure if its the same font

https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/font-abattis-cantarell/0.303-0.e049149/
