Bug Description

Not much I can add to the title, even when 'compiz' is not installed in Ubuntu GNOME Utopic we offer the flashback (compiz) session at login. This is probably a regression - see bug #1332183.

Alberts: oops, for some reason I only receive mail about bugs when a comment is added (so I noticed this one but didn't notice the other two). Fixed them now (I hope).

Did you both see bug #1381232?

I posted a message on edubuntu-devel as well:

I doubt they'll want evolution installed as well as thunderbird.
