It's beginning to sound like GNOME applications aren't even launched
by GNOME at all, but rather by systemd/dbus. Somehow.
I'd be interested in hearing the results of your gdb experiment being
performed on the user session dbus daemon process, by someone using
GNOME. I have no idea whether it would actually work, but if it does,
that would help us understand how this... desktop... is put together.
