I installed Scribus from Guix in a foreign distro and it looks weird 
when I launch it. See these screenshots for example:

https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/scribus-154-dialog-2019-04-22.png

https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/scribus-154-main-2019-04-22.png

It looks pixelated, as if zoomed in, and some parts of the interface 
appear clipped. Anyone gets this same behavior?

I'm using the following Guix and Scribus:

$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) ffc8ab75f10ecaaf52cdc38f5846e9af8e2dadd5

$ which scribus
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/sirgazil/guix-profile/bin/scribus

$ scribus --version

Smells very much like high-DPI pixel doubling gone haywire.

I can't reproduce this on Guix System (git commit fa619007) 
without a desktop environment.  What kind of environment have you?

I'm not familiar with Guix on foreign distroes but would expect 
something in ~/.guix-profile.  That might be a Guix System thing 
though.

For future reference

  $ readlink -m `which scribus`

might also be useful.

Kind regards,

This is GNOME 3.

Guix tells to set those kinds of paths ("/var/guix/...") when I install 
some packages.

$ readlink -m `which scribus`

In the past, we have observed that on some foreign distributions, the
XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable can interfere with the proper
presentation of icons [1], among other problems [2].

What is the output of the command "env | grep XDG_DATA_DIRS"?  What
happens if you start the application via an invocation such as "env -u
XDG_DATA_DIRS scribus"?

I moved to the GNU system (installed with the current Guix 1.0 ISO installer) and I experience the problem here too. I reported a bug about this:

If this is still relevant, I can post the results in the bug report.
