  [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Unity won't start,

  Finally found the reason ;-)

  On 5 machines I upgraded from Maverick to Natty, Unity doesn't start
  on any of them.

  However all my machines have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop
  installed, and use KDM as graphical login manager.

  Starting the "Ubuntu" session from KDM will open a session where Unity
  doesn't start (only desktop background comes up)

  Stopping KDM (sudo stop kdm), then starting GDM (sudo start gdm),
  logging into the "Ubuntu" session from GDM, and then unity works.

  This being perfectly reproductible on all machines I tested it on (all
  upgraded from Maverick to Natty).
