Session dialog does not show up over fullscreen windows.

[Andrea Azzarone]

[IMPACT]

Unity session dialog does not show up over a fullscreen window if you press the hardware button.

[TEST CASE]

(1) open an application (eg. Firefix) and make it fullscreen (F11)
(2) press the power button or choose Shut Down... from the Session indicator menu.
(3) The Session (shutdown/restart) dialog should appear and be interactive.

[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]

No known regression potential.

[OTHER INFO]

The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time without apparent regression.
