Hi,

`gnome-session.service` has the following:

| [Service]
| ExecStart=/bin/sh -exc '[ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" != "gnome-classic" ] || export | 
GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic; \
|     export GNOME_SESSION_XDG_SESSION_PATH=${XDG_SESSION_PATH}; \
|     [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = gnome-flashback-metacity ] && \
|         exec gnome-session --builtin --session=$DESKTOP_SESSION 
--disable-acceleration-check || \
|         exec gnome-session --builtin --session=$DESKTOP_SESSION'

Unfortunately, the latest `gnome-session` no longer supports
`--builtin`. This causes login failures, in particular for me, using
Unity, I get logged back out from the unity greeter.

| $ apt-cache policy gnome-session-bin
| gnome-session-bin:
|   Installed: 46.0-1ubuntu2
|   Candidate: 46.0-1ubuntu2
|   Version table:
|  *** 46.0-1ubuntu2 500

|      45.0-1ubuntu1 500

amd64 Packages

| $ gnome-session --builtin
|
| ** (gnome-session-binary:5602): WARNING **: 15:35:22.156: Unknown option 
--builtin

Removing `--builtin` from `/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session.service`
let's me log in.

With that though, I was not able to input text in chromium (installed
via the snap).

Downgrading `gnome-session-bin`, `gnome-session-common`, and `unity-
session` back to 45.0-1ubuntu1 restores things for me:
