Bug description:
  I have noticed several other users that are having this issue as well
  in  in Ubuntu 11.10.  Most of these users believe they are running the
  gnome classic session and that compiz failed to start.  The fact is
  that notify-osd is causing the gnome-classic session to fail entirely,
  and the gnome-fallback session is loaded instead (which of course does
  not load compiz).  The gnome-classic session works fine after removing
  notify-osd from the RequiredProviders line of the file /usr/share
  /gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session.  It should be noted
  that notify-osd still starts after removing it from the
  RequiredProviders, and seems to still be working.  So most likely it
  is just an error in communication between notify-osd and the gnome
  session (inverted boolean return value perhaps?).
