On one system running GuixSD, Gnome Shell crashes when opening the
activities overview (super key, or clicking on the activities button in
the top left).
(.gnome-shell-real:2471): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:36:30.639:
g_file_new_for_path: assertion 'path != NULL' failed
(.gnome-shell-real:2471): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:36:30.639:

(.gnome-shell-real:2471): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:36:30.639: Could not load a pixbuf
from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Yes, I’ve fixed this on the staging branch for the gnome-shell package.
This also fixes another crash we saw when displaying notifications.
