Bug description:
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.
[Fix]
See lp:~jm-leddy/ubuntu/oneiric/unity-2d/unsetenvvariables
[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
