Will some helpful GNOME user update gnome-session to 3.20.2?

There is a heap overflow in the version of gnome-session that we
package:

Try updating gnome-session to 3.20.2 and see if your GuixSD / GNOME
system still works. Please ask for help on #guix on freenode if you need
help doing that.

If not, I will just push the update later today or tomorrow and wait for
bug reports.

This is the patch to update the version of gnome-session to 3.20.2.

GuixSD and GNOME works fine after install gnome-session-3.20.2.

Thanks
