Bug description:
[Impact]
The session indicator always uses gnome-session to end the session
(log out), but gnome-session is not guaranteed to be available under,
for example, a Unity8 desktop preview session. It should use Upstart
where available.
[Test Case]
Install unity8-desktop-session and choose to log in to that session
from the LightDM login screen. You should be able to select "log out"
from the session-indicator indicator and have it bring you back to the
login screen.
[Regression Potential]
In the worst case this change could affect log out operations from
regular Unity 7 sessions and potentially other sessions that use the
session indicator. In such a case, the log out operation would fail
necessitating a reboot or manual session kill.
[Other Info]
This change has been in production use on later releases of Ubuntu (14.10 and
later) without problems.
Later version of the Unity 8 desktop session do not exit to the
LightDM login screen but instead restart Unity 8 and present the Unity
8 login screen. This is a bug in Unity 8 and not related to
indicator-session.
