Hm, which version of gnome-session do you have?

In general this doesn't make much sense at all...


the pam module will start it with --login, so this one is missing here.
Then gnome-session will start it if it's not started already, if it's
started already it will care for the environment variables.

And then it will be started by the service file only if it's not running
at all yet but something tries to use it.
