Subject: [PATCH 2/8] gnu: gnome-session: Use absolute paths in .desktop files.
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2019 14:22:15 -0500

This makes the gnome-session .desktop files usable even if gnome-session
is not available from the PATH variable.

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (gnome-session)[arguments]: Add a phase that
adds the absolute path of gnome-session in its .desktop files.
