Bug#636435: No longer started in fallback mode (GNOME 3) or GNOME 2

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.1-3
Severity: important

The dbus service files have been removed from notification daemon, so it
is no longer dbus activatable.
As a result, notification-daemon is no longer started for a GNOME 2
session or a GNOME 3 fallback session.

While the GNOME 2 issue is only temporary, we should defintely get GNOME
3 fallback fixed.
A proposed patch is, to update gnome-session (from experimental)
- Remove 13_no_fallback_notification.patch
- Add a hard dependency on notification-daemon to
  gnome-session-fallback.
- In addition, remove notification-daemon from gnome-session, as
  gnome-shell provides the notification service for the non-fall back
  mode

An alternative, to get GNOME 2 session working again, is to revert [1]
and put the dbus service file back for the time being.
