Bug Description
[Impact]
We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), this has probably been our #1 unresolved bug for the last few cycles. While this is the main user visible bug probably other bugs caused by this for example (BGO: #745707)
The cause was tracked down to gnome-session not shutting down cleanly under upstart. Although the underlying issue seems to be the order in which upstart takes down the various components in a user session, the side-effects themselves appear to be caused by gnome-session continuing to run when it should in fact be shutdown
The fix updates the 103_kill_
[ Test Case ]
Note: This is only reproducible under upstart init.
1. Load gdm
2. Login to gnome-shell using GNOME from the session list
3. enable some extensions
4. reboot system from user menu.
5. login again to find extensions disabled.
[ Regression Potential ]
Very low, the fail whale is meant to be fatal. The upstream dialog that is disabled in ubuntu does in fact cause gnome-session to get shutdown.
