# Main issue

Solanum in flatpak failed to render its logo.

# Reproduce step

Run

```
guix shell flatpak
flatpak install org.gnome.Solanum
flatpak run org.gnome.Solanum
```

# Investigation

The issue maybe caused by missing gdk pixbuf loaders. Try `flatpak run
--command=sh --devel org.gnome.Solanum` enter the debug shell of flatpak
and run `strace -o s.log solanum`. Found something like

```
openat(AT_FDCWD, 
"/run/current-system/profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)
...

access("/run/current-system/profile/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-4.6/gtk.css", 
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)
access("/run/current-system/profile/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-4.4/gtk.css", 
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)
access("/run/current-system/profile/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-4.2/gtk.css", 
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)
access("/run/current-system/profile/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-4.0/gtk.css", 
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)

...

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/run/current-system/profile/lib/gio/modules", 
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (没有那个文件或目录)
```

It shows that flatpak is trying to load GTK related resource from
/run/current-system/profile. And use

```
flatpak run --filesystem=/gnu/store:ro --filesystem=/run/current-system:ro 
org.gnome.Solanum
```

It works well.

The solution of Nixpkgs is add these path and store to the flatpak
sandbox. I'm not sure whether it's good or not. Because user may want to
setup its own GUIX{2,3,4}_GTK_PATH and GDK_PIXBUF_LOADER_FILES.
