From gkd-capability.c:
This program needs the CAP_IPC_LOCK posix capability.
We want to allow either setuid root or file system based capabilies
to work. If file system based capabilities, this is a no-op unless
the root user is running the program. In that case we just drop
capabilities down to IPC_LOCK. If we are setuid root, then change to the
invoking user retaining just the IPC_LOCK capability. The application
is aborted if for any reason we are unable to drop privileges.
Seen these fail non-deterministically at a high enough frequency
making it a good contender to disable completely.

* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
