Description:

Since GNOME 3.14 Wayland sessions are quite usable. However, one problem
is that the "GNOME on Wayland" session in GDM doesn't seem to execute
/etc/gdm/Xsession. That script sources the user's ~/.profile and other
stuff like ~/.Xmodmap etc.

For example, I prepend several folders in my $HOME to $PATH in ~/.profile
to override some installed apps with VCS versions I'm hacking on that
reside somewhere below $HOME.

So probably there should be some /etc/gdm/Waylandsession script which does
about the same as /etc/gdm/Xsession without the X-specific stuff (if there's
any).

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

I guess that's more an upstream than an Arch bug, so I've reported it there, too.
