Bug Description
Impact
------
If a user closes the Welcome to Ubuntu wizard before completing it, it will still automatically start the next time the user logs in.
This can be annoying so we're fixing it.
Test Case
----------
1. Install the bionic daily build from http://
2. Restart and log in.
3. The Welcome to Ubuntu wizard appears. Close it by either doing:
a. Right Click on the icon in the Dock on the left and select Quit, or
b. Click "Welcome to Ubuntu" in the top bar to open the app menu and then select Quit.
4. Log out.
5. Log back in.
The Welcome to Ubuntu wizard should not start.
Regression Potential
-------
Since none of the pages in the Welcome to Ubuntu wizard are mandatory, it is harmless for it to be ignored.
Our patch also was careful to not change the "new user" mode which isn't really used in Ubuntu. See LP: #1762287 for details about that mode.
Other Info
----------
We decided to apply this change even in the GNOME session. Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 included gnome-initial-setup by default. GNOME upstream at this time likes the feature where the wizard will show up on next login until it is completed.
