Bug#648474: notification-daemon holds up gnome3-fallback start sequence

Hi,

I debugged this some more, the reason is that the notification-daemon is
both autostarted by /etc/xdg/autostart/notification-daeomon.desktop
(from the notification-daemon package) and
by /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.desktop. So one
starts, and the otherone quits immediately (due to the DBUS name being
taken) and gnome-session will wait endlessly. Possible solutions:
 * Remove the autostart file again.
 * Remove the notification-daemon entry from the session definition.
 * Ignore the autostart file in the gnome-fallback session somehow.
 * (Or maybe find a way to use dbus activation without race conditions.)

Greetings,
Joachim
