Hi! It’s a gdk-pixbuf issue. I’ve been living with this for a while
now, on the current and previous Ubuntu Unity as base. I can only get
Inkscape and several other GTK applications to work, when I use a shell
and enter
`export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/home/thorwil/.guix-profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache`
before `inkscape` and co.
If I have that in ~/.profile, Ubuntu-native stuff breaks.
~/.profile does contain export
`GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache`
I guess one could set up aliases or place wrappers in /usr/local/bin,
but I couldn’t be bothered to do so, so far.
