This seems like it shouldn't happen.  However, I really can't speak 
from personal experience here since I have said "Gnope!" to GNOME since 
it went systemd-required.

Did you mean sddm?  That is in x11-misc here, not part of KDE or GNOME, 
though it does depend on Qt and it's the default DM for KDE.  It has a 
set of text config files in /usr/share/xsession/ that determine what 
gets executed.  I currently have /etc/X11/Sessions/Xsession and 
/usr/bin/startplasma-x11 as available "what gets run after successful 
login" options.
