Hello, when you install dbus it create an empty directory /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
If you install notification-daemon pkg (that insert usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file) and after you remove it, pacman will remove also the directory services (/usr/share/dbus-1/services/) because it's empty
Now if you try to run GNOME it won't start because it's not able to read /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
To solve the problem you have to reinstall dbus (pacman -S dbus) and then GNOME will start again
This task depends upon

Hmm, I think I could "solve" this by putting a .keep file in that dir. Once the .keep file is gone, pacman can go ahead and remove the empty dir.

you have to add it the dbus pkg. There are also other empty directory but I don't know if they are effected with the same problem
