Hi!

Because the gtk-xfce-engine from xfce.scm doesn't need this I thought
that this is the case for these engines, too. But really, I don't know
how this is handled. If I install the package to my profile, which is
included in the GUIX_GTK2_PATH, they are found by Gtk+.

And, as I'm still not familiar with git send-email, the gtk-engines
patch needs to be applied first (if it's okay so).
