[Bug 44344] when shutting down, text console is shown and usplash appears only later

[Emmanuel Touzery]

Public bug reported:

since gnome-session has changed to using gnome-power-manager instead of
gdm to log out (at least it seems to me that's when the change occured),
when shutting down the computer, instead of switching to usplash for the
shutdown, the display switches to one tty (text mode, letting you enter
"login" and "password" to login, with a blinking cursor, as if you hit
ctrl-alt-f1), and only later switches to usplash (when the usplash
progress bar is quite far) before shutdown.

before that change, when shutting down, the display was switching
straight to usplash, for a much smoother experience.

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
