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.

I tried to reopen this bug instead of making a new one but I guess it's
archived or something? bug#75795

Changing the search-path-specification of gdk-pixbuf has broken the
build of transmission as this phase now errors out:

=========
(wrap-program (string-append #$output:gui "/bin/transmission-gtk")
  ;; Wrapping GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE allows Transmission to load
  ;; its own icons in pure environments.
  `("GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE" =
    (,(getenv "GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE"))))
=========

Doing a quick search it looks like there at least 10 packages that need
to be adjusted
