It's weird that a few propagated Python packages could break GDM, but
I've fixed this particular occurrence by simply not propagating anything
from pdfarranger with commit edeafb19c4a: being an application (and not
a library), it doesn't need to make its own Python dependencies
available to the profile.

Closing; thanks for the report.
