Bug#787218: gnome-session-failed tried to wreck my X session

[Carmelo]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.16.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #787218

Dear Maintainers

I got exactly the same problem described by Daniel Pocock but with gnome-session version 3.16.0-1. I never saw this problem with the preview version. 
Usually the problem is driven by iceweasel but not only:

Jun 21 07:27:10 satanik gnome-session[6463]: iceweasel: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
Jun 21 07:27:10 satanik gdm-Xorg-:0[4921]: (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
Jun 21 07:27:10 satanik gnome-session[6463]: (tracker-miner-fs:6656): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: Owner of volume monitor org.gtk.Private.GPhoto2VolumeMonitor disconnected from the bus; removing drives/volumes/mounts
Jun 21 07:27:10 satanik gnome-session[6463]: g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

Jun 21 07:27:10 satanik gnome-session[6463]: Received signal:15->'Terminated'

In my case killing gnome-session-failed doesn't fix the problem and after that I always got the login prompt.

Please let me know if you need more information.

regards
Carmelo
