Title:
  pulseaudio should not load module-x11-bell in gnome-shell

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Disco:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The package force load a bell sound which can conflicts with the user 
configuration

  * Test case
  - Enable a login sound in session
  - Login into a GNOME/Ubuntu session
  -> the configured sound should be played

  * Regression potential
  Try other desktop environments to make sure their login sound behaviour isn't 
changed, it shouldn't since the customization dropped was specific to the 
Ubuntu sound theme

  -------------------

  The package `pulseaudio` installs a startup script in 
`/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop`,
  which itself runs `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
  which loads a number of x11 related modules in `pulseaudio`.

  One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`,
  which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted
  (usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim).

  This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system 
bell
  (through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`).

  The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound),
  so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell.

  I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
  to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome 
Shell
  (e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
