Thanks, the issue is due to the DESKTOP_SESSION -> XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
change. kdm exports the first variable but not the second one, it makes
the upstart job bail out on "Unknown parameter: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"

We either need to revert to use DESKTOP_SESSION back or to fix kdm (and
potential other dms) to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Dimitri, Dmitry, Tim, you are the ones that worked on those changes, is
any of you wanting to look at changing kdm or should we just revert that
update?
