Lets just stick with rebuild gnome-session for now, reverting the dialog
removal is a bit tangled up with other changes, will deal with that a
bit later.

** Branch unlinked: lp:~darkxst/gnome-session/lp1372346

** Description changed:

We have been trying to land this transition for about 9 months now (well
previously was 3.10, but that was largely the same). The big blocker was
the removal of xrandr and idlemonitor code out of gnome-desktop. Robert
- Ancell has solved that issue see Bug 1372240 (however that still hasn't
- landed yet.
+ Ancell has solved that issue see Bug 1372240

- There is a SONAME bump, however that only affects g-s-d/g-c-c (and
- u-s-d/u-c-c until above changes land). Mostly apps are using things like
- the thumbnailer etc, and these are not affected by api changes, so they
- just need to be rebuilt. gnome-session will need to be updated to latest
- 3.10 stable release.

I have debian merges ready to go for gnome-desktop, g-s-d and g-c-c 3.12
(but using 3.10 power plugin/panel to untangle from upower 0.99).

gnome-control-center update will also require a UIFe, Ubuntu GNOME
slideshow has not yet been updated for utopic, so this shouldnt be a
problem from our side. No other flavours use the UI part of gnome-
control-center anymore, the shared-data (faces) are unchanged.
