I think this problem has finally been reported and fixed upstream: Reports: https://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2019-February/049823.html https://blenderartists.org/t/new-blender-install-gui-is-empty-no-icons-controls-etc/1145751 Fix commmit: https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender.git/commit/1db47a2ccd1e68994bf8140eba6cc2a26a2bc91f I didn't test the fix but it's reported to work in that mailing list discussion. Blender 2.8 is working fine for my very limited use case, so I'm not going to resurrect Blender 2.79 in Guix. However, if somebody sends a patch that brings it back in a working state, we can have both versions in Guix during the 2.79 -> 2.8 upstream transition.
