Hello,

So this patch fixes two things. First, it gives the webkit gtk process
access to va-api drivers, which allows hardware acceleration for video
and prevents the errors below:

0:00:00.489161195    21       0xfd4200 INFO               vadisplay gstvadisplay.c:268:_va_info:<vadisplaydrm2> VA info: Trying to open /home/abhishek/.guix-profile/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so

Second, it gives access to the locale dir, which silences some warnings
of the sort below:

(process:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 02:21:08.731: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Yours sincerely,
Abhishek Cherath.
