bug#34528: Icecat is crashing on search

[Joshua Branson]

Hello!

So I recently ran "guix pull && guix package -u && guix system
reconfigure awesome.scm".

And now Icecat hardly use able.

#+BEGIN_SRC bash
guix --version
#+END_SRC

I am using a Macbook 7,1.

I started Icecat from a terminal.  When Icecat opened, I tried to search
for "hello" in the omnibar.  Icecat immediately crashed.


#+BEGIN_SRC bash
icecat --version
#+END_SRC

GNU IceCat 60.5.1


Here is a copy of what the terminal said:

(icecat:3394): Gdk-ERROR **: 15:56:53.656: The program 'icecat' received an X 
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1635 error_code 8 request_code 2 (core protocol) minor_code 
0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thanks!

P.S.  It is nice that I am just able to --roll-back and have a working
IceCat again!
