I had a go at this, and after adding some inputs and setting HOME only
four tests fail. Getting those to work in the build environment seems
pretty involved however (currently I'm starting xorg and adding a
"mimeapps.list"), so I shunted on this for now as it obscures the
update diff somewhat and is better suited as a separate patch.

IMO it's better to have a working package without tests, than a broken
package without tests ;-) Would be good to get it fixed though, will
give it a go at a later opportunity.

Ben: Can you confirm whether the latest xdg-utils work for you? It's in
'master' now so you should get it after a `guix pull` and update.
