This isn't quite enough in this situation.

- Log in over SSH or in a vt (so there is a logind session alive for your user)
- Log into the same user in Unity
- Simulate an Xorg crash (pkill -f -SEGV Xorg)
- Log back in

You don't have GTK_MODULES set properly. The previous gnome-session is
lingering.

To fix that, something like comment #3 is needed. Such as looping over
all 'active' units that are PartOf graphical-session.target and stopping
them all.

gnome-session needs a fix to its ExecStopPost to not kill the one we
just started.

I'll upload this and it can be reviewed in the queue.

  unity-gtk-module.service is racy; session services don't stop if
  session terminates

  Sometimes on session start unity-gtk-module.service runs too late or
  something, and $GTK_MODULES does not include "unity". It is in
  "systemctl --user show-environment" but not in a terminal bash.
