Description:
I've installed GNOME, but when logging into the GNOME session the screen flashes black and goes back to GDM. Logging into GNOME Classic and GNOME Xorg works fine. I'm normally using sway, so Wayland works on my machine. GDM can start the sway session fine. Attached is everything printed into journalctl when I try to log in and it fails.

Additional info:
* package version(s): GDM 3.34.1-1, mutter 3.34.3+30+g4959ae8bc-1, gnome-shell 1:3.34.3-1
* config and/or log files etc.: the only change to the GNOME install was adding [Service] Type=idle to the GDM service as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM#GDM_freezes_with_systemd because otherwise GDM would freeze instead of starting.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
1. sudo pacman -Syu gnome
2. sudo systemctl enable gdm.service
3. Restart and try to log in with GNOME selected.

I tried launching mutter --wayland on its own and it runs successfully.

I solved the issue. The culprit was an `exec fish` line in my `.bash_profile`. Very strange that it broke only GNOME Wayland of all the things.
