Public bug reported:

/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/cairo-dock.session lists gnome-
settings-daemon (on trusty; may be unity-settings-daemon for some
releases of Ubuntu) as a required component. This is a real requirement:
when gnome-session-bin is installed but gnome-settings-daemon isn't,
attempts to log in to a cairo-dock desktop session fail with the
following messages in .xsession-errors:

gnome-session[17624]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-settings-daemon'
gnome-session[17624]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....

Installing gnome-settings-daemon is sufficient to cure this symptom.
That makes me think that cairo-dock-data (which provides cairo-
dock.session) ought to have an explicit Depends: gnome-settings-daemon
(or possibly a Recommends:, but definitely nothing less than that).

I see that cairo-dock-core has a Recommends: gnome-session | <other
stuff>, but that's so likely to be satisfied by one of the other choices
to be almost useless. A survey of my trusty desktops indicates that
systems upgraded from precise have gnome-session installed but fresh
trusty installs only have gnome-session-bin. gnome-session depends on
gnome-settings-daemon but gnome-session-bin does not.
