We intend to make all GTK apps depend on the desktop schemas. Since
the schemas depend on gnome-backgrounds to determine the default
wallpaper path, it would increase the closure size significantly
for smaller apps.
We could split out the org.gnome.desktop.background and screensaver
schemas but that would make the packaging unnecessarily complicated.
Instead we remove the backgrounds dependency since they are not used
(outside of GNOME) or they will be replaced by a different set by
the NixOS module. There will be no background when running GNOME
manually but that can be easily fixed.

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`.
Continuation of #28053
gnome-disk-image-mounter from gnome-disk-utility was not wrapped, resulting in an
error due to the inability to find gsettings schemas.
This commit replaces the manual wrapping of gnome-disks binary with wrapGAppsHook
so that all binaries are wrapped correctly.
