That patch make the code handle the unity and unity-2d sessions, it's
not enough though since the feature write a key which is used only when
gnome-session has no --session argument used, or in Debian and Ubuntu
our session all use --session, it means the feature is broken under
gnome-shell or unity, I would suggest just dropping it and use the login
screen selector.

** Patch added: "update the fallback code to handle unity sessions"

Title:
  [UIFe] Remove "Force fallback mode" from the system settings

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If you go to the GNOME Control Center and start "System Info" there is
  a Graphics option.  Inside there is an option to "Force fallback
  mode".  I have been using this to try using Ubuntu 2D, but the option
  only works when logging into GNOME Shell.  Therefore, to avoid
  confusion we should not display this option when not using GNOME
  Shell.  Yes, this is somewhat advanced but we have a very technical
  audience and this could cause a lot of confusion and wasted time.
