I'm sorry, I don't actually use GNOME and should have tested it before
pushing. I have been busy lately and didn't want to hold up the branch.

It would be good to have a system test for GNOME and other DEs so we can
catch these problems earlier.

I'll try to help fixing this later today, but feel free to revert the
updates meanwhile.
