Hello,

right now on the GuixSD from the website I have about 12 copies of
icecat installed in /gnu/store but I can start none of them by typing

  $ icecat

Why not?

Also, it isn't in Xfce4's Application Finder either (while for example
HexChat is).

With kind regards,
   Danny

You could answer the question I asked you above, but since you mention
the problem is gone, we’ll assume there was no real problem after all.
;-)

> For the record, on the new GuixSD installation (including guix pull) which I'm using now, I can start icecat by typing "icecat". However, there's still no entry in the start menu - which is pretty annoying.

Please open a different bug for the missing icon in the start menu.

> Also, icecat is in "gnu/packages/gnuzilla.scm". Weird. But ok...

‘guix edit’ FTW!  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
