Dear Guix,

In this V3, the Applications Menu built-in extension is fixed by installing
typelibs for gnome-menus. Since the extension requires it, I figured it should
be a propagated-input. However, it is already propagated by
gnome-desktop. Should we propagate it in both gnome-desktop and
gnome-shell-extensions?

The noannoyance extension now has an updated origin, preserving the same
package.

The paperwm extension requires to be updated for GNOME 44, see
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68574 for a candidate patch.

I still have no solution for Jiggle and Transparent Window. For the former, I
was reminded that there is a standard option to make your pointer more visible
if you press the control key, but I am not sure this is desirable as a Jiggle
replacement.

Now sound-output-device-chooser has a greatly decreased utility, since you can
choose the output device directly from the shell.

Best regards,

Vivien

Instead of propagating it, we should perhaps just wrap GI_TYPELIB_PATH?

More accurately, it is already outdated for GNOME 42(?) and the
supplied patch also works for GNOME 44.

Let's keep this open for review then.
