Hi,

A few days ago I mentioned an issue with a Scribus installed on a foreign distribution using Guix (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-04/msg00249.html). I'm experiencing the same problem with Scribus and the GIMP in a GNU system installed in a real machine using the ISO installer (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz).

Scribus (these are from my Guix  on foreign distro experience, but the problem in the GNU system is the same):

GIMP (these are taken from the GNU system):

The windows are clipped (extend beyond the screen limits), you can't resize them, and the icons look like zoomed-in bitmaps. The icon problem is minor, but the other problems make it really hard to use the applications as intended.
