Sorry for (presumably) breaking threading; I came across this online and
don't see a way to set my in-reply-to-email header properly.
Anyways just thought I'd mention that I recently learned about this
feature, and was able to use it to get a downloaded [Tor Browser Bundle]
running with:
```
guix shell \
--container \
--network \
--emulate-fhs \
--preserve='^DISPLAY$'
--share=/run/user/$(id -u)/gdm \
openssl@1 \
libevent \
pciutils \
dbus-glib \
bash \
libgccjit \
libcxx \
gtk+ \
coreutils \
grep \
sed \
file \
alsa-lib \
-- \
./start-tor-browser.desktop -v
```
`--preserve='^DISPLAY$'` and `--share=/run/user/$(id -u)/gdm` are to get
access to the display. I'm not sure the second parameter is universally
correct; I reverse-engineered it via roughly `ps aux | grep -- -auth`.
The `-v` parameter to the browser script keeps it from trying to
background itself, which otherwise causes the container and browser to
terminate.
It'd ultimately be nice to package the Tor Browser Bundle properly for
guix, but it's nice to be able to use it this way in the meantime.
