Some apps don't generate a .desktop file. If an app does generate a
.desktop, it would be installed in "~/.guix-
profile/share/applications/".  If an apps you use doesn't have a
.desktop there, report a bug.
If KDE isn't showing an icon for an app with a .desktop file in
~/.guix-profile/share/applications/ then you will need to configure KDE
to look there for .desktop files. I don't know how to do that though.
