Hi,
I installed some packages, but they don't appear in the application menu
(no icon).
Is there an other way (manual way) to run them?
I tried to use a starter and point to a file in
/gun/store/application/bin/application
but it says "file could not be found".

In general, you can run the app from the command-line. Don't point directly to the store, because the path might change after an update.
However this is only a workaround. The proper solution is to fix the packaging. Which packages are lacking a launcher icon?

These packages are lacking a launcher icon:
mc (midnight commander) ( I can start it in the command-line.)
network-manager-applet (for MATE Desktop)
mate-applets
texlive-todonotes

Hi,
I installed Guix as my system and not Guix as a package manager on a
foreign distro.
