It is already the case for couple of configurations, see: When using Guix on top of GNU/Linux distribution other than Guix System—a so-called foreign distro—a few additional steps are needed to get everything in place. Here are some of them. Therefore, I do not see why it should be different, i.e., the user has to manually setup the correct configuration for icons apps as Mark explained. Let keep open this report open as a reminder until a patch improving the manual is submitted. :-) All the best, simon
