In 3.14.0-2ubuntu1, RequiredComponents of ubuntu (unity)'s session file
incorrectly gained compiz. This caused compiz to be started by
gnome-session and not to be managed by upstart in user sessions meaning,
for example, that it won't be restarted correctly in the event of a crash.

* Split wayland session into gnome-session-wayland (LP: #247500)
  - control.in: add gnome-session-wayland package and depend on xwayland
  - gnome-session-wayland.install: install wayland session

debian/control.in: Remove circular gnome-shell dep to ease upgrades.

* Merge from Debian, Remaining Changes:
  - debian/control.in:
    + Recommend session-migration
    * don't depend on xwayland
  - debian/gnome-session.install: Don't install wayland session for now
    since its not yet possible to run it
  - Split ubuntu-session out of gnome-session.
  - Add upstart user session
  - debian/gnome-session-bin.postinst, debian/gnome-session-bin.prerm:
     Moved registering gnome-session binary as a session manager to
     gnome-session-bin package
  - don't install defaults.list (installed by desktop-file-utils in ubuntu):
     debian/gnome-session-common.dirs and gnome-session-common.install
 - debian/patches/22_support_autostart_delay.patch:
    Bugzilla patch to support adding a delay to autostart apps, using
    a "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay" key in the desktop file
 - debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch:
    + Add Ubuntu session
    + gnome-shell.desktop adds --session=gnome now that the "ubuntu" session
      is the default. Use TryExec to test if gnome-shell is installed.
 - debian/patches/51_remove_session_saving_from_gui.patch:
    add GNOME_SESSION_SAVE environment variable for people wanting to
    use the save session still, knowing that it can break your system

    Set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP inside gnome-session based on a
    new key 'DesktopName' in gnome-session .desktop files.

    recommends and launch the session-migration if present at the start

    applications to shutdown or reboot the machine via the session manager.

  fallback to set this now.

No change rebuild for gnome-desktop 3.12

243. By Iain Lane on 2014-09-16

[ Iain Lane ]
* Don't set GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID in the user session job. We're doing
  that in xsession-init.conf now as it needs to happen at the root of the
  session, which gnome-session used to be.

[ Robert Ancell ]
* debian/defaults.list:
  - Fix typos, thanks to Cengiz Can for the patch (LP: #1367708)

242. By Marco Trevisan (Treviño) on 2014-06-04

50_ubuntu_sessions.patch: Don't set compiz as one of the
RequiredComponents, it uses upstart. (LP: #1308800)

241. By Tim Lunn on 2014-03-12

gnome-session-bin.user-session.upstart: Use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
as the instance specifier for gnome-session upstart jobs, since
other sessions apart from ubuntu will need to use u-s-d (LP: #1224217)
