I didn’t get that, too

They are not. I don’t know how to get them to work.

It looks like it’s not yet implemented in the app. Instead, I have removed modem manager from inputs.

Please write the actual copyright holder (likely the relevant members of this team or perhaps their employer, depending on how things are set up) -- AFAIK, "PantherX OS Team" is a not some legal entity that can hold copyright.

In both cases, I think we should investigate whether something like <https://www.samba.org/samba/devel/copyright-policy.html> should be done in Guix first.

I don't think this module should unconditionally import that, to help with keeping "guix ... package" fast when the kde-frameworks isn't actually used.

I have tried out some tricks in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54539> -- while there doesn't seem to have been any conclusion on what's the 'proper' trick, there are some options -- see, e.g., how https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57861 uses module-ref.

Could you add some information, more specifically something to distinguish nm-applet from nm-applet?  Currently, it doesn't give any information that helps the user with choosing between nm-tray nad nm-applet.

Why? AFAICT, there are no git submodules.

Looking through the source code, it appears to use icons.  Can you test that icons are displayed properly in a pure environment ("guix shell --pure nm-tray -- ...")?  Sometimes graphical software doesn't find its icons without some help.

Looking at CMakeLists.txt, it comes with optional modem manager support, for which you seem to have added modemmanager-qt, but from reading CMakeLists.txt, it doesn't seem to be enabled by default, could you set WITH_MODEMMANAGER_SUPPORT?

Greetings,
Maxime.
