If you share the X11 socket file and set $DISPLAY to the right value,
then you should be able to make that happen:
guix environment --container --network --share=/tmp/.X11-unix
--ad-hoc icecat
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
icecat
Do note that the above code gives icecat full access to the X11 server
and the host's network interfaces, so it's not exactly a locked down
environment.
Perhaps we could use a command line switch to automatically do this
sort of thing.
