Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Using the patch in bug 432945 for gdm we can add a failsafe session for GNOME again. Running a failsafe session disables compiz and all user startup items. The most important one is compiz in case users have problems logging in because of it like the recent problems with Radeon HD cards.
