Hi!

You could mention <https://bugs.gnu.org/30642> in the log.

One option discussed at the time was to use ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’,
which should have an effect similar to the patch you posted.  Perhaps we
should just do that?

> +           (add-after 'bin-and-desktop-install 'wrap-programs
> +             (lambda* (#:key inputs outputs #:allow-other-keys)
> +                      (let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))

Nitpick: the lambda’s body is too indented.  :-)

Thank you!

Ludo’.
