I think the easiest way to test (with few dependencies too) is:
$ guix package -i rofi
$ rofi -show drun
Then check whether icecat shows up in the list of applications (it doesn't).
But on the other hand
$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/dd/applications
$ cp ~/.guix-profile/share/applications/icecat.desktop ${HOME}/dd/applications/
$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${HOME}/dd:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}"
$ emacs ${HOME}/dd/applications/icecat.desktop
(remove just the %% lines)
$ rofi -show drun
shows icecat.
(Just today I had the same problem (with iceweasel) in Debian in LXDE while I
was showing GNU Linux to someone else. Apparently the LXDE desktop environment
doesn't let you add applications it doesn't know (i.e. ones without desktop
file) to the panel. That... didn't give a good impression)
