Gajim assumes that there is a single plugin directory, which has to be
set at configuration time.  This means that you cannot even default it
to ~/.guix-profile/share/gajim/plugins, because people might use
different profile directories.

The best way to fix this is upstream by sending them a patch that would
make Gajim look for plugins in other directories, either by implementing
a search path environment variable or by adding a key to the
configuration file.
