Hi, I installed the package into my user profile, and all the icons had
the "image not found" icon. After I installed adwaita-icon-theme
separately, the icons showed up properly. Maybe you need
adwaita-icon-theme in the propagated-inputs? But, if so, I'm confused as
to why hicolor-icon-theme is being propagated. Maybe both are needed,
but that seems weird.

Most of these should not be in native-inputs, but normal inputs.
See '(guix)package Reference':

|         The distinction between ‘native-inputs’ and ‘inputs’ is
|         necessary when considering cross-compilation.  When
|         cross-compiling, dependencies listed in ‘inputs’ are built for
|         the _target_ architecture; conversely, dependencies listed in
|         ‘native-inputs’ are built for the architecture of the _build_
|         machine.
|
|         ‘native-inputs’ is typically used to list tools needed at
|         build time, but not at run time, such as Autoconf, Automake,
|         pkg-config, Gettext, or Bison.
