[ Tim Lunn ]
* debian/patches/103_kill_the_fail_whale.patch: fix logic gnome-session
  should die at this point. This will fix LP: #1236749,
  LP: #1385572 and possibly various other strange bugs

[ Ryan Tandy ]
* debian/patches/git_add_disable_acceleration_option.patch: Backport
  upstream patch to add a --disable-acceleration-check command-line option.
  (LP: #1251281)
* debian/gnome-session-bin.user-session.upstart: Disable acceleration check
  when launching a GNOME Flashback (Metacity) session.

gnome-session-bin.user-session.upstart: Use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
as the instance specifier for gnome-session upstart jobs, since
other sessions apart from ubuntu will need to use u-s-d (LP: #1224217)

240. By Robert Ancell on 2014-02-20

* debian/50-ubuntu.conf:
  - Add missing file

239. By Robert Ancell on 2014-02-20

* debian/control:
  - gnome-session depends on gnome-settings-daemon, ubuntu-session depends on
    unity-settings-daemon
  - Correctly mark ubuntu-session as replacing files in the old gnome-session
* debian/50-ubuntu.conf:
  - Install LightDM configuration (moved from ubuntu-settings package)

238. By Steve Langasek on 2014-02-19

Drop the depends from gnome-session to ubuntu-session. The new
ubuntu-session package has been added to the desktop seed, so the
transitional dependency should be removed so that unity is not pulled in
unnecessarily on other flavors that depend on gnome-session.

237. By Robert Ancell on 2014-02-17

* Split ubuntu-session out of gnome-session. Make gnome-session temporarily
  depend on ubuntu-session so users automatically keep the Ubuntu session
  configuration installed. We can drop this once all users are sure to have
  migrated. At the same time we can make ubuntu-session depend on
  unity-settings-daemon and compiz.
* Move the upstart job from gnome-session to gnome-session-bin
* debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch:
  - The ubuntu gnome-session requires unity-settings-daemon, not
    gnome-settings-daemon (LP: #1277487)

236. By Robert Ancell on 2014-02-14

* debian/control:
  - Depend on gnome-settings-daemon-schemas so can work with
    unity-settings-daemon (LP: #1277487)

235. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2014-02-07

Make gnome-session an instance job, by default only one is started,
but that means that other jobs can conditionally start on a given
gnome session type, or pre-empt blocking starting it.

234. By Iain Lane on 2014-01-09

Don't run session-migration if we're in an upstart user session as the
session job will have done that for us. (LP: #1265528)

233. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2013-12-04

[ James Hunt ]
debian/gnome-session.user-session.upstart: Unset Upstart event
variables to avoid stop(8) from stopping the users session (LP: #1256262).
