icecat can't be started by basename only |

Hello,
right now on the GuixSD from the website I have about 12 copies of
icecat installed in /gnu/store but I can start none of them by typing
$ icecat
Why not?
Also, it isn't in Xfce4's Application Finder either (while for example
HexChat is).
With kind regards,
Danny

You could answer the question I asked you above, but since you mention
the problem is gone, we’ll assume there was no real problem after all.

Please open a different bug for the missing icon in the start menu.

‘guix edit’ FTW! :-)
Thanks,
