When trying to launch gnome-flashback (metacity) session from
XRDP/VNC/NX/X2GO/Chromoting it fails with diagnostics in log:

>gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
>gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
>gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
>gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
>** (process:11622): WARNING **: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1

When starting manually gnome-panel, metacity, nautilus and other
components from .xsession - it works normally.

Looks like - unnecessary check performed (and failed).

This breaks gnome-flashback, breaking upgrade path from previous LTS and
removing most sane option for cloud environments!

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
