As per sidebar with Ryan Tandy, unity-settings-daemon needs a Utopic
task, and gnome-desktop3 needs a Trusty task.

Title:
  (FreeNX/X2Go) gnome-session crashed with SIGSEGV in
  gnome_idle_monitor_get_idletime()

Status in gnome-desktop3 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The X server used by FreeNX and X2Go does not support the IDLETIME
  counter. This eventually leads to a NULL pointer dereference by gnome-
  session due to a missing parameter check in
  gnome_idle_monitor_get_idletime. This renders GNOME Flashback unusable
  via FreeNX/X2Go in Trusty.

  Utopic and newer are not affected and the patch is not applicable as
  the GnomeIdleMonitor implementation was rewritten. Saucy is also
  affected but is EOL, however I would like to fix this in Trusty as the
  patch is tiny and IMO obviously correct.

  This and bug #1251281 are the only bugs preventing GNOME Flashback
  being used via FreeNX/X2Go in Trusty; and the latter has an easy
  workaround (divert the acceleration-check helper and replace it with
  /bin/true) and may be fixed properly soon.

  I would be happy to prepare a debdiff and fill out the SRU template if
  a sponsor agrees that the patch is SRUable.
