Summary: "guix init" doesn't always complete or lead to a stable image. It is not reproducible easily, and one has to use the log to figure out what's going on. The user can scroll the log, but cannot copy-paste or export.

Description: At the moment, the interface creates a Text object for each line that's received from the stream. That's because the original ScrollView + TextEditor has limitations as to the number of lines it takes and how the scroll(s) are managed. The current Text implementation doesn't break on several "guix reinit", but there is a cap as too how much back in time the user can see.
