bug#56288: Pitivi can't be started |

Hello Lily and Christian,
This is unfortunately the usual gdk-pixbuf SVG loader not being found,
since it is part of librsvg. Some details are described in [1] already,
but to summarize: we need to propagate gdk-pixbuf so that the
search-path GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE is properly set for the profile.
Hence, I can reproduce the issue with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell --pure pitivi -- pitivi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but the following launches pitivi properly (didn't check further)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell --pure pitivi gdk-pixbuf hicolor-icon-theme adwaita-icon-theme --
pitivi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I think it's very impractical that we have to do this for all packages
that wish to load SVG files via gdk-pixbuf, because it's technical and
not a concern that upstream developers document, since they don't
encounter such behavior.
