Hello, I had pushed fixes for transmission and xournalpp.  Other using
glib-or-gtk or meson build system still works as GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE
was set in the generate-gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache-file phase.

Wrap binaries with GUIX_GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILES is not ideal currently,
since it would contain duplicated loaders from cache files.  After we
remove the generate-gdk-pixbuf-loaders-cache-file phase, we can wrap
with GUIX_GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILES, which should mostly only contains
gdk-pixbuf and librsvg.

Thanks.
