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.
This is a squash commit of the joint work from:

The build was failing due to missing telepathy_logger dependency,
I added it. Additionally, the connection to server was failing due to
telepathy executables not having an access to dconf, which was fixed
in #26113. Lastly, when I tried running Polari directly, it terminated
with SIGTRAP and the following error:
(org.gnome.Polari:22998): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed
adding `gnome3.gsettings_desktop_schemas` as a buildInput fixed that.
