bug#35589: Scribus and GIMP: Clipped, non-resizable windows and pixelated icons

[sirgazil]

Hi,

A few days ago I mentioned an issue with a Scribus installed on a foreign 
distribution using Guix 
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-04/msg00249.html). I'm 
experiencing the same problem with Scribus and the GIMP in a GNU system 
installed in a real machine using the ISO installer 
(https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz).

Scribus (these are from my Guix  on foreign distro experience, but the problem 
in the GNU system is the same):

GIMP (these are taken from the GNU system):

The windows are clipped (extend beyond the screen limits), you can't resize 
them, and the icons look like zoomed-in bitmaps. The icon problem is minor, but 
the other problems make it really hard to use the applications as intended.
