Hi Guix,

I've installed gimp and gimp-resynthesizer into my profile. However, gimp
does not know about resynthesizer. If I symlink
~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins to ~/.guix-profile/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins,
then resynthesizer is found and works correctly. Presumably, our gimp
package should look in the profile for plugins by default, but it is not
clear how to do that.

Also, for me, starting gimp with GIMP2_PLUGINDIR set did not help gimp
find resynthesizer. Even it that did work, it is not clear that we'd want
that since it is a single directory and not a path.

My guix describe info is as follows:
