** Description changed:

+ [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.
