bug#66533: texmaker missing runtime dependency on gtk+

[Josh Marshall]

When running texmaker and the user clicks the icon to open a file, if
the gtk+ package is missing it fails and crashes.  I forgot the exact
error, but it just fails to retrieve a gtk object or something.  This
may also have a hook into nautilus, but I haven't been doing much
testing on that front -- other priorities at home.  Should be a near
trivial fix and I should be able to do it if someone doesn't get to it
first.  I need to go through and re-learn the guix development setup
first.

Are you running on the top of an foreign distro or Guix System?

For this works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -CN texmaker -E DISPLAY -- texmaker
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-simon'
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open i915: /gnu/store/mpw1crqgzi11fvc0cgx6cs8pggj8anpm-mesa-23.1.4/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /gnu/store/mpw1crqgzi11fvc0cgx6cs8pggj8anpm-mesa-23.1.4/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915
libGL error: failed to open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: iris
…
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then, click icon New or else and I do not see any failure.
