Here you still have the default gnome-desktop-service in the list, and
I'd assume you'd have a 50-50 chance of getting the right one when
logging in. I would change it to (untested!):

    (services (cons* (service gnome-desktop-service-type
                              config =>
                              (gnome-desktop-configuration
                                (inherit config)
                                (gnome-package gnome-custom)))
                     %desktop-services))

and just remove %my-gnome from above.
