Bug#649596: gnome-session: Please provide /usr/bin/gnome-session-fallback as alternative to /usr/bin/x-session-manager

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.0.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Hello, i just update some of workstations in our department,
and find that gnome-shell is starting by default with miserable effects
both in terms of stability and productivity.

I would like to choice gnome session with gnome-panel as default,
but there is no x-session-manager alternative installed
by default.

I find that best way to fix it is to execute

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager x-session-manager
/usr/bin/gnome-session-fallback 60

I think it will be approprimate to add it to the gnome-session-fallback
package postinst script. Priority 60 because if someone installed
gnome-session-fallback he/she clearly want to have it activated.

Thanks.
