Provide a mostly upstream GNOME session
We provide an easy way for users and developers to get a "mostly GNOME upstream" (vanilla) session with only very few Ubuntu modifications (some brown crumbs). This will allow developers to test their software in a GNOME environment as well as in the Ubuntu Desktop, which has some different parts (notifications, messaging indicators, etc.).
