I=E2=80=99m glad you figured this out.  I wonder if this means that we shou=
ld
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=E2=80=99d suggest to ask on help-guix first.  Either way,
thanks for bringing this to our attention.
