[Bug 1527015] [NEW] Dont run zeitgeist on GNOME

 

Public bug reported:

Zeitgeist is not really useful under Ubuntu GNOME, and in fact we don't
ship the binaries by default, since we use tracker. However if a user
has both Unity and GNOME installed, then zeitgeist will run under the
GNOME session also. Presumably this is pretty harmless but will eat up
RAM and I/O cycles so would be good to avoid it.

Hopefully just requires an AutostartCondition in desktop file(s) to fix.
