Cillian's impure method works, thanks. But of course it will be better
to manage GTK_PATH variable automatically. I can imagine  that we
should do something like what
/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/programs/bash/profile.sh does for KDEDIRS -
loop through all gtk theme packages installed.

By that is interesting: what tree should we patch - nixos or nixpkgs?
There probably are users who use nix but not nixos. How do they
integrate nix-managed environment into their native systems?
