I gather from Daniel's testing that this makes things worse for users of
Cosmic. If that is correct, even if a fix for mutter is coming, I don't
think releasing gnome-shell to -updates is the right idea.

Bug description:
[Impact]
The wrong background flashes up briefly (for a split second) during the login
animation.
The login screen and gnome-shell's system background are meant to be the same
image so that the login procedure can VT switch without the user noticing. Then
the final desktop expands over the system background. However it appears the
login background and system background are not the same image any more, causing
a visible glitch during login.
[Test Case]
1. Install new version, logout
2. Log in into GDM
-> Check that at login startup, the background matches GDM ones (same color,
same gradient)
3. Logout, install gnome-session
4. Reboot so that GDM takes gnome-session into account
5. Select GNOME session and login
-> At login startup, the background will matche the GNOME default one (from
the lockscreen: grey noise), which matches GDM one if reset to default GNOME
via update-alternatives.
[Regression Potential]
This code is loaded at session startup, if there is a syntax error, the
session wouldn't start at all.
This has been of course tested before committed (both on ubuntu and GNOME
sessions)
