bug#35597: GNOME Tweak Tool does not start

[sirgazil <sirgazil@zoho.com>]

Hi,

I installed the GNU system in a real machine using Guix 1.0 ISO installer (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz).

After installing "gnome-tweak-tool", I cannot launch it.


## Steps to reproduce

1. guix install gnome-tweak-tool
2. Press Alt+F2
3. Type gnome-tweak-tool and press Enter


## Unexpected result

The application never starts.


## Expected result.

The application starts


## Additional information

Almost every time I run "gnome-tweak-tool" in a terminal nothing happens. I immediately get another prompt.

Just one time I got the following warnings and errors:

The application didn't exit, I had to press Ctrl+C to get a prompt again.

Also, after running

    strace -f -o tweak-tool-trace.out gnome-tweak-tool

I can see many lines with "No such file or directory". For instance:

##############################
2694  readlink("/gnu/store/zm3188ipzi262s0m8bxm24br77yh9pd8-python-3.7.0/bin/python3.7", 0x7ffefe14afb0, 4096) = -1 EINVAL (Argumento inválido)

2694  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/gnu/store/zm3188ipzi262s0m8bxm24br77yh9pd8-python-3.7.0/pyvenv.cfg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No existe el fichero o el directorio)

##############################

But I wouldn't know what to look for in that output.
