That's what I tried initially and confirmed again today that it doesn't 
work for both inputs or propagated inputs. (the icon from 
gnome-control-center is visible because the share directory will be 
included XDG_DATA_DIRS from the wrapper script from the glib-or-gtk-wrap 
phase but not he other packages).
After that the next most simple solution was the hacky workaround via 
gnome-shell-assets. Maybe someone has a better idea for how to include 
the extra packages?


Also as I use the gnome-desktop via gnome-desktop-service-type all these 
packages should already be in my system profile. So somehow the 
environment is weird when shepherd starts gdm such that gdm can't find 
the extra files but I don't know enough of both guix/shepherd and 
gdm/gnome to figure out what the exact problem is.

I found https://issues.guix.gnu.org/28088 which is a bit related but not 
exactly the same as there is no login manager involved.
