The problem is that when someone using Ubuntu with Unity installs
gnome-shell, they are prompted to choose a display manager but there
isn't enough information about which one to choose.
Original bug report
-------------------
gnome-shell depends on gdm;
however, it is possible to use gnome-shell with another session manager (esp.
lightdm which is the default on ubuntu).
So this dependency seems too strong. It should either
* be changed to a recommend
* be a dependency on gdm | lightdm (possibly adding other session managers?)
