My config.scm installs EXWM + StumpWM, but not GNOME.
Before the last core-update, GDM would only suggest the 2 window
managers.

After a recent Guix pull followed by a `guix system reconfigure', GDM
also suggests GNOME.  If I select it, it fails to log in, which I
suppose is expected since it's not installed.

I believe the GNOME entry in GDM should only appear if GNOME is installed.

Alright, I eventually succeeded and pushed a fix as
f4ec5e1a9823a66c27fe2bc033db7b58b29edfef (‘version-1.1.0’; will merge
later on ‘master’).  Woohoo!

AFAICS it works as advertised, but please report any issues!
