The Electrum wallet GUI fails with a coredump because the Qt platform is unable to load plugins.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. nix run nixpkgs.electrum --command electrum

Expected behavior
Electrum should launch without crashing.

Screenshots

nix run nixpkgs.electrum --command electrum
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted (core dumped)

Additional context
The electrum package already uses the Qt wrappers, and they worked fine at some point. I've compared the generated scripts to those of qutebrowser, which is working, and I didn't see any difference that could explain the problem.
