I have just tried your suggestion. I verified that it does not pollute
GNOME’s environment and it does set up Guix environment variables in
Emacs. However, it does not set up the Guix environment on
gnome-terminal, as I suspected. According to Bash’s info manual[1],
interactive non-login Bash shells (such as those spawned by
gnome-terminal) only read `~/.bashrc' or the file specified by the
`--rcfile' option, but *not* (by default) `/.bash_profile'.
