Bug#596689: gnome-shell: should depend on gnome-session

[ridcully]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.29.0-3+b1
Severity: important


When gnome-shell (plus gnome3-session), is installed together with gnome-session
it works seamlessly.
Alternatively when installed without (there is a desktop environment but it's
Kde, there is nothing of gnome installed); it doesn't work at all.
There are errors such as in #590341. If try to fix it you have another
one of the same sort. When launching gnome-shell the computer gets really messed
up.
But there is something else that would say it should depend on gnome-session:
in this script supposed to be used to built gnome-shell:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/plain/tools/build/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh
there is in line 24:
"GNOME 2.26 or newer is required to build GNOME Shell"
So it seems everyone who built gnome-shell had gnome2 on its computer.
