On the one hand, docs say it adds extra helpful steps. On the other hand, it works fine here as submitted in the previous patch. What do you think?

Those helpful steps that 'work fine without' are there for a reason, 
from the documentation:

      ‘qt-wrap’
           The phase ‘qt-wrap’ searches for Qt5 plugin paths, QML paths
           and some XDG in the inputs and output.  In case some path is
           found, all programs in the output’s ‘bin/’, ‘sbin/’,
           ‘libexec/’ and ‘lib/libexec/’ directories are wrapped in
           scripts defining the necessary environment variables.

-- quite likely, it won't actually work without -- try "guix shell 
--pure featherpad -- featherpad" (the --pure is important). Does that work?
