Since Unity is such a big focus this release, the more that you can test
under Unity the better.

Note that many issues vary by whether compositing is enabled and there
are two kinds of "Classic" sessions, one with compositing, one without
('no effects').

Sometimes it can help to isolate whether a given bug occurs just with
compositing or not, which is where "Classic Desktop (no effects)" can be
worth testing.
