Pushed now.

The reason this took so long was because the ibus registry really hates
me.  See also <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/22707>.  The series of
command that led me to success was

$ rm ~/.cache/ibus -rf
$ ibus write-cache
$ pkill ibus
$ ibus-setup

Note that this was more or less required thanks to a stale cache and
not due to the lack of GTK4 support; the GTK4 support just makes it so
that GTK4 apps can actually use ibus.

Hopefully there's a more sane way to do this and hopefully this isn't
required per reboot.

Cheers

Hi Guix,

after updating my system to the new GNOME 42, I noticed that my ibus input
methods broke.  Now obviously, this is due to the bump to GTK4, which is not
an ibus input (yet).  To make it one without sending Guix into an endless
loop, a little more is required, though.

Note that this series is as of yet untested; I will test it once I refreshed
all the broken extensions, so I only need to create one VM for all the tests.

Cheers

Liliana Marie Prikler (3):
  gnu: Add ibus-minimal.
  gnu: sdl2: Use ibus-minimal instead of ibus.
  gnu: ibus: Build with GTK4.
