It turns out you committed this patch to master as
def6d6b61685f69421df80cb524ba94da5dadd42.
If I revert the commit, GDM does not work (without GNOME installed in
the system profile).
If there is a way to work around GNOME Session, I’m not clever enough to
think of it. :(

I looked at this briefly when you first brought it up, because I thought
there would be something blindingly obvious that I could cut out.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything. It probably can be tightened up,
it just needs to examined a bit more carefully.
