Hey fellow Arch users. Ever since the update yesterday (to GNOME 40), GDM will not launch a GNOME session for me. After I enter my password, the whole screen just freezes and becomes unresponsive. If I select XFCE as the session, the screen just flickers briefly and returns to the user selection GDM screen. I'm not so worried about getting XFCE working, as I just installed that to try and debug whether the issue was isolated to GNOME or not.
The only thing that works, is if I switch to a different TTY (5 in the logs), and run the following command:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session
I don't see anything jumping out at me from the logs:
sudo journalctl --boot -u gdm:

sudo journalctl --boot:

Has anybody else run into anything like this?

I just switched to lightdm to see if that helps, and I am able to launch an XFCE session from LightDM, but not GNOME. Will collect and post more logs soon

Okay, the issue was not related to GDM at all. In fact, I had broken my installation previously when I was trying to install some software previously (TigerVNC), but had just not encountered the problem as I had not rebooted yet. My first reboot _happened_ to coincide with installing GNOME40 and I mistakenly blamed the problems on GNOME. TigerVNC was attempting to startup, and freezing up, thus blocking GNOME from loading at all. After uninstalling that, GNOME works as expected (and version 40 no less!). I haven't debugged the TigerVNC issue, as I was just experimenting with software that day, and probably did not read the manual when trying to set that up.
