Thanks! I will review some general points. It would be good to get a
GNOME / GTK expert to review this as well — perhaps 宋文武 has some
feedback?

The above lines should go in the commit message, rather than in the
patch itself. You can then generate the patch with `git format-patch`.

Please insert a blank line here.

This is really a question for a GNOME user, but I wonder if it would be
appropriate to use the glib-or-gtk-build-system?

It's a good idea to explain package-specific configure-flags, in my
opinion.

Please add a note explaining why tests are disabled. If there are no
tests, just say something like "no test suite".

Does glib need to be in both native-inputs and inputs?

I think our policy is to have users install the icons into their
profile, and let other packages find them through environment variables,
as explained here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00764.html
Is that appropriate in this case?

I haven't used Nautilus before. Can someone else weigh in on the
description?

You can provide list of licenses. There is an example in the package
definition for 'ruby-power-assert'. But please keep the comment about
what parts are covered under what license.
