gnome-shell from Guix does that too.  I think I introduced this bug when
I upgraded Gnome many months ago; it seemed necessary then but it may no
longer be needed.

We should remove the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from there.  I cannot test this
right now, but if a reconfigured system with this change boots fine and
a user can log in, then there’s no reason to keep the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
wrapping.
