SRU note:

[Impact]

Anyone using unity-2d and also using gedit, which can affect a number of
machines for which there are no 3d drivers, eg underpowered netbooks.

[Test Case]

1) Switch to unity-2d on login
2) Start up Gedit
3) observe gedit does not start

[Regression Potential]
Small, we've been running this patch in precise without issue. Additionally, it's just a 3 line change to unset an env variable.

Original report:

ISO testing showed that sometimes, only on Unity 2D (so far),
DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS and DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE aren't unset from the
environment when starting a new software.

This breaks gedit as it's actually checking these variables for its own
DBUS activation
