I have a better way. This did not work for me on Trisquel.
My experience: Apps appeared in the main menu, but GNOME was not aware
of them. Icons were missing, Emacs would never show up in "Open With",
and I couldn't launch Mumble from Run Application (Alt+F2).
Solution:

(Thanks, ADFENO!)
GNOME sees apps and icons now!
Remaining hurdles:
* Buttons don't show up, themes don't match:

* Fcitx Mozc input method for Japanese does not work in Guix apps
