Subject: Telegram-desktop flatpak doesn't launch on Gnome
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:48:02 +0300

Hi,

Came across an issue where the telegram-desktop flatpak doesn't work
when launched from the Gnome Shell (pressing Super and launching from
there).

It works perfectly normal when launched from the terminal with `flatpak
run org.telegram.desktop` and also using the Exec= value from the
.desktop file.

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if it's just me. I
posted an issue to their github, but not sure yet if it's a Guix
environment problem or not - perhaps the Gnome shell environment vs my
Guix Home environment that is used when launching from the terminal.

Thanks.
