Environment variable settings should go in .bash_profile instead of
.bashrc, so that they are only set in your login shell.  Otherwise, when
you spawn shells within an alternative environment (e.g. created by
'guix environment') the .bashrc will overwrite those environment
settings.

To include plugins from both my user profile and system profile, here's
what I put in my .bash_profile:

export 
GRL_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/grilo-0.2:/run/current-system/profile/lib/grilo-0.2
export 
GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gstreamer-1.0:/run/current-system/lib/gstreamer-1.0
