Hi Maxime,

I've now implemented this, upgrading Inkscape to 1.2 in the process.
See commits 023259c4bd1a38225fb1c06660c0cf393210e811,
7dcba233a3745cfdcc291adf46261548eb2f3d76 and
b1523ffac597d56ab9657ab1c1b1a7fc49344d67.

It's now possible to 'guix shell --pure inkscape -- inkscape'!

Thanks for the report.

Closing.

Maxim

Broken:

$ guix shell --pure inkscape -- inkscape

(crashes on start with ‘Inkscape encountered an internal error and will
close now’.)

Work-around:

$ guix shell --pure inkscape gdk-pixbuf -- inkscape

also works:

$ guix shell --pure inkscape gdk-pixbuf -- /usr/bin/env GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/gnu/store/[...]-profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache inkscape

Looks like some wrapping is required to point GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE to an appropriate 'loaders.cache'.

Also starts in a non-pure environment without adding extra packages, but then the icons aren't found.

Greetings,
Maxime.
