I've updated the custom.conf

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop

[security]

[xdmcp]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

But echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE still shows "x11." Is that correct?

Might be that?

Agreed. Just not sure what that should be for KDE and Wayland. I've never had Gnome installed.

Then I wonder why you chose this thread to ask about this as it clearly says GNOME :face_with_monocle:

Try this. I personally have it in my .zshrc and it works like a charm but the article mentions bash_profile.
