If you were using systemd then I think you could do systemctl restart gnome-session. Currently, for people without systemd there is a builtin service manager, I don’t think there’s a way to signal it to restart everything though. In the future, you will be able to do herd restart gnome-session if I finish the gnome-session-shepherd[1]. How it works is that the desktop file starts gnome-session-binary, which in turn starts either the systemd services or (before GNOME 49) the builtin service manager.
