When I log in with "Gnome on xorg" the /tmp directory doesn't exist. When I log in "Gnome" (+Wayland) it exits.

Figured out what was the problem. The /tmp dir. Once I had nonexisting /mnt dir on Guix boot. So I've added this piece In my file-systems:

(file-system
  (mount-point "/tmp")
  (device "tmp")
  (type "tmpfs")
  (check? #f))

This exact piece was causing a problem. Seems like it's connected to x11-socket-directory-service from (gnu services desktop). So, maybe the tmpdir was mounted after GDM boot and override the needed /tmp settings.

Update. I can log into "Gnome on Xorg", change ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix to root:gdm, log out, and them login into "Gnome". This will enable Wayland.

Creating new user didn't helped.

I created new user (did this Guix way, via adding to config and
reconfiguring the system) and logged it as a new user. Still X11 system
displays with `xrandr`, and `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE`. I don't think
there is a need to try moving all home files, creating new user should
be enough to test provided option.

Although I noticed a gear icon below in the right of the gdm screen when
logging in as a default user (saw that in Ubuntu) with options "GNOME"
or "GNOME on Xorg". Trying to login in "GNOME" (Wayland supposedly)
gives a black screen for ~2s.  After couple attempts logged back into
"GNOME on Xorg".

Attached logs again. They says something about DBUS. Any ideas?
