Ah!  Incidentally, this is what I was aiming to fix when I started the
work on this patch series, but guix lint told me I could update the
version… :D

Cool!

I tested the new version with ./pre-inst-env guix shell volctl and
everything looked fine with the default systray of EXWM.

I will do a global system update by the end of the week and will see if
I can reproduce and fix the issue.
