I can confirm this.  I have never had any issues with Xournal++ and Guix
but I use Gnome as my desktop environment so the gnome-icon-theme was
already in the system profile.  Indeed, if I run it in a pure
environment , I can reproduce the error:

This is with the current Guix 188e3e2e6878346b0bdc8b46084f458abe86826c.
I think this is definitely a bug and I have filed a bug report [1].

@Alexander: Do you want to work on that issue and provide a patch that
adds the missing dependency?

Best
Daniel
