Motivation for this change

Icon themes with svg icons were not loading, because gdk_pixbuf didn't have svg support. By pointing GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE to librsvg, it fixes the issue. More info here and here. Icons in PNG format still work, e.g. if no iconTheme is set

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Alternatively, here is a pull request with another solution, which might be better if it's merged: #42562

But, for example, Plasma still uses this same workaround: plasma5.nix
And xfce: xfce.nix
