marking importance as High, since I have a strong suspicion this is also
causing many reported black screen deadlocks, and quite possibly failed
software rendering fallback under gdm.

Title:
gnome-session not shutting down cleanly

Bug description:
[Impact]
We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are
disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), this has probably been our #1 unresolved
bug for the last few cycles. While this is the main user visible bug probably
other bugs caused by this for example (BGO: #745707)
The cause was tracked down to gnome-session not shutting down cleanly
under upstart. Although the underlying issue seems to be the order in
which upstart takes down the various components in a user session, the
side-effects themselves appear to be caused by gnome-session
continuing to run when it should in fact be shutdown
The fix updates the 103_kill_the_fail_whale.patch to force shutdown of
gnome-session. This is inline with the fix upstream for (BGO: #745707)
also.
[ Test Case ]
Note: This is only reproducible under upstart init.
1. Load gdm
2. Login to gnome-shell using GNOME from the session list
3. enable some extensions
4. reboot system from user menu.
5. login again to find extensions disabled.
[ Regression Potential ]
Very low, the fail whale is meant to be fatal. The upstream dialog that is
disabled in ubuntu does in fact cause gnome-session to get shutdown.
