urxvt / rxvt-unicode has no .desktop files in Guix and therefore
does not show up in application menus like GNOME provides.
Whoever wants to fix it faster than I do (currently occupied with
psyced related packages), here is my work in progress part of the
rxvt-unicode package.
.desktop files can be found in the source dir of gentoo and
archlinux
(https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/rxvt-unicode)
Code below has not been tested, it may need some fixes, and we
need at least 3 like in archlinux.
