Just like Nautilus (see #29970), GNOME Control Center also uses
gnome-desktop for generating thumbnails. In particular, it tries
to make a thumbnail from a file choosen as a profile picture, and
when it does not succeed, it will not allow that file to be chosen.
Of course, whithout a thumbnailer, it will always fail.

Since gnome-desktop scans `thumbnailers` directories under the paths
in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`, gdk-pixbuf had to be added to the path to provide
access to image thumbnailer.
When overriding gnupg to uss pinentry gnome3 frontend, there is
a dependency cycle:
gnupg → pinentry_gnome → gcr → gnupg
This commit overrides the gnupg required by gcr to not build GUI.
The pinentry_gnome package requires gcr. Unfortunately, when configure
asks about the library (or `pkg-config --libs gcr-base-3` is used) it
fails because glib is not in scope.
```
$ pkg-config --libs gcr-base-3
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'glib-2.0', required by 'gcr-base-3', not found
```
This commit moves glib and gtk to `propagatedBuildInputs` so pkgconfig
could find them.

Nautilus, resp. gnome-desktop, scans `thumbnailers` directories
under the paths in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`. gdk-pixbuf was not, for some
reason, listed in the variable, therefore Nautilus did not generate
image thumbnails.
I also add librsvg to the variable so that SVG files can be rendered.
It does not work at the moment, though, because of incorrect path to
the renderer.
- Gucharmap no longer follow the GNOME major versioning.
- Gucharmap no longer includes Unicode data. Instead the data should be
downloaded from unicode.org.
In #26879, GNOME Online Accounts support was removed resulting in
repeated authentication prompts for users relying on services like
Google Calendar.
This commit removes the build flag that disabled the support.
* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
10k staging builds are not yet finished on Hydra (mostly darwin),
but we now have a 20k jobs rebuilding directly on master, so we would
never get to merge this way...
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
The main thing is that I'm convinced the license can't be free when it
restricts redistribution to certain platforms. That probably holds with
the usual definitions like from Debian, FSF or OSI.
