"guix package -i transmission" doesn't install transmission-gtk into profile |

However, it installs share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop into the
profile, containing
Exec=transmission-gtk %U
i.e. it won't find it.
transmission-cli works.
I checked gnu/packages/bittorrent.scm , it seems to do some weird special-case
for the gui (it puts the gui into a "gui" output and the rest into an "out"
output).
But
$ guix package -i transmission:gui
works. If that's supposed to be the official way, that's not discoverable.
Also, the desktop file should also be in there, then it's at more consistent.

If you have ideas on how to make outputs more discoverable, let us know!
They’re certainly less “obvious” than package names, but they’re
documented and show by every user interface as Leo wrote.
Thanks,
