GNOME Shell doesn't try to start ibus-daemon on startup

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

Ibus daemon is not launched when launching the shell nested

[ Test case ]

 - In a terminal launch
 - env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/nested-runtime \
   dbus-run-session gnome-shell --nested --wayland
 - Inside the nested shell, launch a terminal and ensure ibus-daemon is running there too:
   ps aux |grep ibus-daemon

[ Regression potential ]

Shell may hang on nested startup, but that's handled by bug #2019776

Launching gnome-shell in nested mode indeed launches ibus-daemon too, as can see below the launch times match
