No, these are in ‘glib’, but see <http://bugs.gnu.org/22138>.

The purpose is to make “these things” work; it’s briefly mentioned in
the manual (info "(guix) Build Systems").

I have:

$ /gnu/store/lxi4bp22sqmz0g8wf0i171pxgv871wcc-transmission-2.84-gui/bin/transmission-gtk
** (transmission-gtk:28007): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files
(transmission-gtk:28007): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Failed to execute child process "update-desktop-database" (No such file or directory)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(I think in general you could check whether there are discrepancies
between your system and GuixSD using ‘guix system vm’, with
‘transmission:gui’ installed globally.)
