Hi Jorge,

It is a pity though that this workaround needs writing manual

In this particular case, we can actually fix Emacs. When Emacs
spawns a child process it passes the environment as specified in
the process-environment variable, so you can clear out the
unwanted environment variables by running something like this
during startup:
(setq process-environment
(seq-remove (lambda (s)
(or (string-prefix-p "GTK_PATH=" s)
(string-prefix-p "XDG_DATA_DIRS=" s)))
process-environment))
That doesn't solve the broader problem in Guix, but it should make
Emacs in particular work properly.
