Bug Description

In today's daily for Ubuntu Budgie (11th July), a fresh install - on the login screen, GNOME Session is the default - not Budgie Desktop.

Also GNOME (Wayland) session is incorrectly available.

Looks like mutter incorrectly recommends gnome-session which in-turn pulls in GNOME Shell.

I think this fixed the installed version of Budgie 17.10, but in the 'live' environment, ubiquity-frontend-gtk has an alternate dependency on metacity. metacity recommends gnome-session which depends on gnome-shell.
