It fails with

(ssb-patchwork:2): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 13:07:02.956: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed

Which appears to be fixable just the way it was fixed in #84449 in commit d89ed04, that is, by adding wrapGAppsHook in the arguments and in the nativeBuildInputs

I would like to add that I see all kinds of programs that use image/file choosers crash upon attempting to open such, one other example being, iirc, Zim (the local desktop wiki software). Clearly we have a repetitive issue there, that should probably be adressed in a more abstract way.

Thanks for pointing this out. This issue is however a duplicate of #76743

Potential fix:

• buildFHSChrootEnv: link gsettings-schemas to FHS location #83705

I currently work around that by lauching ssb-patchwork from a terminal. It seems to inject the appropriate gsettings schema.

Help welcome :)

@NinjaTrappeur The way I obtained the error message was by launching it from a terminal. It clearly doesn't do that for me. I use awesomewm and xterm.
