I found the error!

Guile-gnome installs in such a way that it only works if you run it like
this: guile-gnome2 -s hello.scm

This seems undocumented and was unexpected. I expected "guile -s" to be
able to run also the modules installed by guile-gnome.

Should we add a note somewhere to avoid confusion and/or inform upstream
about this non-standard behavior?
