Public bug reported:

In bug #1185565, indicators are dropping xdg autostart files & dbus activation files.
This breaks sessions which are not managed by upstart.

One can have the best of the both worlds.

Under upstart user-sessions, /usr/share/upstart/xdg/ is added to
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, thus one can place an override
autostart/indicator-$foo.desktop file there which declares "Hidden=true"
and thus under upstart managed session the xdg-autostart file will be
ingored.

Similarly dbus file is re-introduced, as to allow for dbus activation of
the indicators.

Patch to follow.

** Affects: indicator-sound
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Project changed: indicator-network => indicator-sound

** Summary changed:

- Indicators should still provide xdg/dbus
+ Indicators should still provide xdg autostart & dbus
