Hi Ludo,

I think the easiest way to test (with few dependencies too) is:

$ guix package -i rofi
$ rofi -show drun

Then check whether icecat shows up in the list of applications (it doesn't).

But on the other hand

$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/dd/applications
$ cp ~/.guix-profile/share/applications/icecat.desktop ${HOME}/dd/applicati=
ons/
$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=3D"${HOME}/dd:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}"
$ emacs ${HOME}/dd/applications/icecat.desktop
(remove just the %% lines)
$ rofi -show drun

shows icecat.

(Just today I had the same problem (with iceweasel) in Debian in LXDE while=
 I was showing GNU Linux to someone else. Apparently the LXDE desktop envir=
onment doesn't let you add applications it doesn't know (i.e. ones without =
desktop file) to the panel. That... didn't give a good impression)
