we disable the fail whale dialog on ubuntu, but then just return back
into the code, without telling gnome-session to die which is causing
some problems. the fail whale should be fatal and the disabled dialog,
would normally tell gnome-session to quit.

Title:
  gnome-session not shutting down cleanly

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions
  are disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), I've only just managed to
  reproduce this and have discovered that gnome-session is not shutting
  down cleanly.

  Basically, X gets shutdown, which causes gnome-shell to abort,
  following this gnome-session tries to respawn gnome-shell which fails
  and due to this failure disables all shell extensions. I don't know
  enough about upstart to really understand what is going on but it
  appears this also affects unity and it just hasnt been noticed since
  there are probably no such side-effects happening there.

  Filing this against upstart since this is not reproducible when using
  systemd init, though it may well be a bug in gnome-session, but
  related to upstart user sessions.
