I cannot reproduce these issues using Guix System on commit
aa7cdc57dc28673dedfc6ec210974aaa0099a419.  The gimp and scribus programs
do not appear to render icons incorrectly, their windows are resizable,
and their windows are not clipped.

Can you reproduce the issue in a VM?  You can try with the "guix system
vm" command; you might need to slightly customize your OS config file.
If you aren't sure how to do that, just let me know, and I'll try to
help.
