[Bug 1217991] Re: Regression: gnome-flashback* fails to init with latest upstart

[Stéphane Graber]

The fix proposed here is wrong.

Entries in /etc/upstart-xsessions needed to match existing files under /usr/share/xsessions
gnome-flashback in there is called gnome-fallback (the old name was kept to make the updates work)

I'll try to poke at this tomorrow in a VM and figure out what's
preventing the session from properly starting under upstart. The actual
fix for that will likely be in the user jobs shipped with gnome-session
but I'll re-target the bug report then.

Title:
  Regression: gnome-flashback* fails to init with latest upstart

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  /etc/upstart-xsessions has - 
  gnome-fallback
  gnome-fallback-compiz
  When trying to login to either just a black screen with cursor, nothing related logged anywhere

  If the above is edited to - 
  gnome-flashback
  gnome-flashback-compiz
  Then the sessions load
