Hello,
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS with Guix installed on top as a package
manager.

One day, I went to log in after rebooting my PC (I had performed a `guix
pull` the same day) and upon entering my password, I was just brought
immediately back to the login screen. Checking the system journal, I
found that gnome-session is outputting several errors like

When I disable the shell script in /etc/profile.d/ that exports
necessary environment variables for Guix, the problem disappears, and I
am able to log in again, which makes me suspect that maybe some of the
environment variables that Guix sets are confusing GNOME somehow. I'm
not sure if it is caused by one of the packages I have installed from
Guix, but I know that when I limit my profile to only Emacs and the
Emacs packages I have installed from Guix, I am able to log in
again. When I add a package (like stumpwm) that needs to set
XDG_DATA_DIRS, the problem seems to reappear. I also was able to
reproduce the problem on another machine I have that runs the same
operating system and also has Guix.
Is this a bug, or is it possible I've just misconfigured something?
Please let me know if I'm missing any needed information and I'll do my
best to provide it.
