After upgrading my packages today, gnome-session started segfaulting. I think I
finally tracked the problem down to the recent changes in how Emacs searches
for packages. Apparently Emacs now uses the search path $EMACSLOADPATH.
Unfortunately, this is a very long value on my system:
$ echo $EMACSLOADPATH | wc -c
22525
When I add `unset EMACSLOADPATH` to the end of `~/.profile`, GNOME works again.

I pushed them, and I'm closing the bug. Thank you Maxim for those
patches, and I hope you'll be back soon to keep hacking on Guix and
Emacs!
