Issue description

Desciption

when opening any terminal inside bspwn using sxhkd the path don't include system path, just the user path.

Steps to reproduce

with the following config:

1. login to the user
2. press Super + enter
3. kitty launch
4. launch the command tree (it work)
5. launch the command vim or nix-shell (the console respond with a not found command)

configuration.nix

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
{
  services.xserver = {
    enable = true ; 
    displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;
    displayManager.defaultSession = "none+bspwm";
    windowManager.bspwm.enable = true;
  };

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    home-manager
  ];

  system.stateVersion = "21.05"; # Did you read the comment?

}

home.nix

{pkgs, lib, config, ... }:
{

  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    kitty
    tree
  ];

  xsession.windowManager.bspwm.enable = true;
  services.sxhkd.enable = true;
  services.sxhkd.keybindings = {
    "super + Return" = "kitty";
    };
}

Expected behavior

that then program installed using nixos configuration file be accessible under program launch under bspwm

I won't have time to look into this before a couple of days, but right away this looks like the issue that was fixed by #1892, so the observed behaviour is strange.

Can't reproduce with the following test VM configuration:

{ lib, config, pkgs, ... }: {
  imports = [ <home-manager/nixos> ];

  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;
    displayManager.defaultSession = "none+bspwm";
    windowManager.bspwm.enable = true;
  };

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
  ];

  users.users.test = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    password = "";
  };

  home-manager = {
    useGlobalPkgs = true;
    users.test = {
      home.packages = with pkgs; [
        kitty
        tree
      ];

      xsession.windowManager.bspwm.enable = true;
      services.sxhkd.enable = true;
      services.sxhkd.keybindings = {
        "super + Return" = "kitty";
      };

      home.stateVersion = config.system.stateVersion;
    };
  };

  virtualisation.memorySize = 2048;
  system.stateVersion = "22.05";
}

Running with nixos-rebuild build-vm -I nixpkgs=/path/to/nixpkgs-master -I home-manager=/path/to/hm-master -I nixos-config=vm.nix && ./result/bin/run-nixos-vm, I can spawn a terminal and run vim or nix-shell in it just fine.

Are you able to provide a minimal non-working example VM?

I finally found the issues.

I use fish as default shell and this is broken in previous home manager version (work find with master branch).

I use the home-manager from the nixpkgs as describe in my first message.
But the home-manager package in the master branch of nixpkgs is out to date by 6 months.

• source: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/package-management/home-manager/default.nix#L14

there as already a pull request to bump the package to current version, but not it's merge: NixOS/nixpkgs#139980

thanks for your help and excuse me for the inconvenience.
