I had reported this on IRC earlier and think I've found the fix. The upstream
issue is https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/829 and leads to the
following commit that should fix it
https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/commit/f34ea0700048c27319a2256408171adda32a7580
I'm attaching this commit as a patch for our current version (just
cherry-picked this commit) to try. I tried it with the following command
guix shell geeqie
--with-patch=geeqie=0001-Fix-829-segfault-with-clutter-gtk.patch
And it started up for me without the error or changing options. I'm not sure if
this is related to some other issues that we discussed on IRC (a segfault on
icon view?), but at least this fixes the startup problem. Since this is fixed
upstream, on the next version update we should be able to remove this patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix #829: segfault with clutter-gtk
https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/829
This fix might cause other problems which might be cured by calling:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 geeqie
or, worst case:
geeqie --disable-clutter
