Running graphical apps with guix shell --container

[Luis Felipe]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a GTK application in an isolated environment, but the 
application seems to fail when trying to be displayed. I'm running these 
commands:

EXAMPLE:
$ guix shell -C --preserve='^DISPLAY$'
$ python3 mazo
INFO: No database found. Creating it.
INFO: Database created.
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(mazo:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:24:28.154: cannot open display: :1
END EXAMPLE

Also, trying the following example from Guix manual, the browser does not start:

EXAMPLE:
$ guix shell --container --network --no-cwd ungoogled-chromium 
--preserve='^DISPLAY$' -- chromium
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
END EXAMPLE

I'm using Guix System 037c2b6.
