Bug Description

 HI, I have Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, 64 bits, fresh install, and I decided to trie Gnome Classic (fallback/flashback).

 But, at the login, in GDM, even after I choose my user, the options to choose other DE, in this case Gnome Ckassic, does not appear!
 I've reinstalled everything that I could remember, and still nothing!
 The only option that shows, it's my user name, I ENTER, then put my password, and NO OPTION to choose other session/de appears!

 In the directory /usr/share/xsesions ut shows the available sessions, in my case:

 - GNOME
 - GNOME Clássico
 - GNOME Flashback (Compiz)
 - GNOME Flashback (Metacity)

 So, the packages are installed correctly!

 Thanks.

Well, I just installed for the 3rd or 4th time the package gdm, and the problem is solved?!
And it was the exact same version that I had already installed!?
So, now I have all de xsession/de options available!
What as made me very sad is that note a single answer from anyone in launchpad regarding my issue!
So I ask myself if theres is any point on reporting bugs and problems here?!
