I installed gnucash with `guix package -i gnucash`. When I attempt to
run it, it fails with the following error message:
**
gnc.gui:ERROR:gnc-icons.c:96:gnc_add_stock_icon_pair: assertion failed: (pixbuf1 && pixbuf2)
fish: 'gnucash' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
However within an environment created by `guix environment --ad-hoc
gtk+`, gnucash runs fine. So, I'm guessing gtk+ needs to be in gnucash's
propagated-inputs.

I cannot reproduce this. I don’t have gtk+ installed in a profile and
Gnucash starts up just fine.
The following environment variables are set which may make a difference
here:
GUIX_GTK3_PATH=/run/current-system/profile/lib/gtk-3.0
GUIX_GTK2_PATH=/run/current-system/profile/lib/gtk-2.0
GTK_DATA_PREFIX=/run/current-system/profile

After setting XDG_DATA_DIRS with
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/gnu/store/zlr5l39k9gw7ss26iq6vj3yk215xrzpl-profile/share${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
gnucash runs successfully. I found out about this using `guix
environment --search-paths gnucash`.
How do I find out about these environment variables in general?
Shouldn't they be set in the gnucash wrapper script so that the user
does not have to set them manually?

I think this error is caused by gdk-pixbuf, which uses XDG mime-info
database to query file types. Install the 'shared-mime-info' package
to activate the 'xdg-mime-database' profile hook should make it works.
To actually fix this package (and some others) we can:
- Wrap them with shared-mime-info in XDG_DATA_DIRS or propagated it.
- Make sure 'xdg-mime-database' always run if glib applications are
there even without shared-mime-info referenced by profile.
IIRC, this was suggested by ludo, but I ignored, now patch sent :-)

Great, I'll wait a bit for the package to be fixed.

Apparently the 2nd item is what commit
801d316b20b05a4d0687873ad8e438e6238e23ce does.
Are we done, or do we need to do item #1 too?

We are done. No need to do item #1. The issue has been fixed.
