Title:
  Desktop name order in XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for Unity

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Unity has changed XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP from "Unity" to "Unity:Unity7".
  Order of desktop names is not consistent with existing
  XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP values - GNOME-Classic:GNOME, GNOME-
  Flashback:GNOME, Budgie:GNOME...

  Derived desktop names are put before base desktop name. Since Unity
  desktop name is shared between Unity 7 and 8 it should be put last -
  Unity7:Unity, Unity8:Unity.

  This might not matter today, but it could in future...
