Now when we know that it has been explicitly decided upon, it's apparent
to me that we shouldn't cause confusion by using some other name.
OTOH, we aren't required to use it, are we? I for one am even more
convinced now that not using any name, as I argued for at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2011-April/015601.html
and applied at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/gnome-user-docs/natty/view/1452/gnome-help/C/shell-guest-session.page
is an appropriate way to handle the incoherency.
