[Bug 1212408] [NEW] lightdm/gdm needs to set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Tim (darkxst):

Since the switch to upstart, some processes in the user environment,
such as gnome-screensaver, now get launched without $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
being set. This is currently causing screen locking issues.

This used to get set by gnome-session, but it is no longer high enough
in the process tree to set it for the complete user session.

Consensus in #ubuntu-desktop was that lightdm should be setting it.
