Looking into this, I suspect the issue is not building the GTK version (though it would be nice to have a Lucid-toolkit/x11 build available through Guix at some point as I think I prefer it to the GTK one), but rather instead that (looking at `emacs.scm`) it seems that Guix isn't building Emacs with `libxrandr` as one of the (optional) (build time?) dependencies, and so `frames.el` falls back to using Gdk rather than XRandr. What do you think? I can try testing out this theory (i.e. that including `libxrandr` in `emacs.scm` may be enough to remedy the issue) at some point, but it may be another week or two before I'll have time so to do. -Ben -- Benjamin Slade - https://babbagefiles.xyz - https://slade.jnanam.net `(pgp_fp: ,(21BA 2AE1 28F6 DF36 110A 0E9C A320 BBE8 2B52 EE19)) '(sent by mu4e on Emacs running under GNU/Linux . https://gnu.org ) `(Choose Linux ,(Choose Freedom) . https://linux.com )
