bug#23192: Logging into GNOME, incorrect password drops you into Window Maker

Hi,

I'm using GuixSD v0.10.0 with GNOME.  I've noticed the following
surprising behavior:

At the graphical login screen, if you enter a password incorrectly, then
the text "session (F1 to change): GNOME" disappears.

At this point, if you enter the right password, you will be logged into
a "Window Maker" graphical environment - not GNOME! - which is a little
confusing.

I don't know why this happens, and I'm not even sure where to look
(e.g., log files) to figure out what's going on.  Any advice would be
appreciated!
