cc @ttuegel @samueldr, that's another invocation where currently QT_PLUGIN_PATH needs to be prefixed to make it runnable from nix-shell.

possible fixes: #44047, #54525

@flokli I updated nix package manager and all my installed apps. I am getting the same error for kolourpaint (kde app). :(

I believe this is a case of #65399? Does this require @jD91mZM2 to wrap the package?
