Does running `guix shell icedove-wayland -- icedove` trigger a texmacs
error, or is it an icedove error?  Icedove and friends dlopen quite a
lot of libraries, and we might've forgot some of them, so they might
leak from somewhere else triggering this problem.  Adding
`LD_DEBUG=libs` to the environment variables might help with finding out
which libs are leaking through.

Also, you don't have to `guix pull` as root, you can just do `sudo
guix system reconfigure config.scm` which will use your user's guix to
reconfigure.

Best,
