obs icons

hi everyone! tried to use obs in guix system. it has (as i think) a problem. when i install obs in my user profile and run it - it runs but without any icons. but if i run it from obs env - it works with all fancy icons.

I can confirm this happens on my machine, too.

I didn't know this, though. I just tested on my machine and found

that:

- "guix environment --ad-hoc obs -- obs" does not have icons

- "guix environment obs --ad-hoc obs -- obs" has icons

I don't have time to dig into why right now, but I'm curious as to

what's going wrong. I assume it's to do with an environment

variable of some sort. Here is the output of "env" on my machine

in the two environments (removing DISPLAY, TERM, USER, HOME, and

LOGNAME).

If that's true, then my instinct that it was related to

environment variables is wrong, because my user profile has

XDG_DATA_DIRS pointing into the profile, and the icons don't load.

That might imply that OBS is looking for something that one of its

inputs is contributing to the build environment, but which isn't

propagated propagate into the profile when it's installed.
