Title:
  Test specified by IsRunnableHelper should be skipped if nonexistent.

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  I use the Xmonad window manager. I have it configured to run by
  specifying it in the GConf setting
  /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager. This causes
  XMonad to be used as the window manager by gnome-wm, which is
  specified in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/classic-gnome.session,
  which is referenced by /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-classic.desktop.

  With a recent upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, attempting to log into a
  "Classic Ubuntu" session (in order to use gnome-wm and thus XMonad as
  the window manager) silently fails over to "2d-gnome.session" which
  uses Metacity.

  I expect this is due to the line in classic-gnome.session:

  IsRunnableHelper=/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test --compiz

  I do not have /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test installed on my system,
  so this test fails.

  I think this unity-support-test is inappropriate when gnome-wm might
  be configured to launch any other configured window manager.

  Regardless of that, if the executable specified by Required-
  windowmanager exists, but IsRunnableHelper does not, the constraint
  should be skipped. In other words, it should pass and not trigger
  fallback to a different session.
