Hi!

This patch means that we’re pulling in GNOME even when we don’t actually
need it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size gdm |tail -1
total: 909.4 MiB
$ guix size gdm gnome-session |tail -1
total: 1011.8 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do you think we could avoid that?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
