Hi Guix!
I was trying to use a perl software that uses gtk3. Its main window
does not show up and it seems to get stuck. I tried to come up with a
reproducer. In guix shell perl perl-gtk3:
```
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use feature ':5.14';
use Gtk3 '-init';
use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/;
my $window = Gtk3::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_title("Basic Check Boxes");
$window->set_position("mouse");
$window->set_default_size(400, 200);
$window->set_border_width(5);
$window->signal_connect (delete_event => sub { Gtk3->main_quit });
my $vbox = Gtk3::Box->new("vertical", 5);
$window->add($vbox);
say "hello";
my $entry = Gtk3::Entry->new;
say "hello again";
Gtk3->main;
```
says "hello" but gets stuck when creating the entry. I get some error
messages, but it doesn't prevent perl-gtk3 from showing relatively
complex windows: I get the same errors with a script like, but the
window is properly shown:
any perl expert around? :)
