I haven't found out how to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP from mdm (Linux
Mint's fork of older gdm), so then when attempting to login to Gnome-
Shell I am greeted with a black screen.  However, doing this is a
workaround (but still leaves XDG_CURRENT_DESTKOP unset):

in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-session.conf

change:

instance $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

to:

instance GNOME
