Can you clarify what you mean when you say that you installed it "using
(guix system GNOME)"?
On my Debian system, I installed GParted into my normal user's profile,
and I use it like this:
`sudo --preserve-env /home/leo/.guix-profile/bin/gparted`
It's hacky but it ensures that you have privileges, and the
'preserve-env' makes the icons appear.
In general, you have to be root to use GParted, so you could also
install it as root: `sudo --login guix install gparted`.
