I’m glad you figured this out. I wonder if this means that we should
change the icecat package to set these variables (e.g. by adding a shell
wrapper).
What do others think?

As it turns out that this might require changes to the icecat package,
maybe guix-devel is appropriate after all :) For other questions like
this, however, I’d suggest to ask on help-guix first. Either way,
thanks for bringing this to our attention.
