This bug was fixed in the package gnome-session - 3.2.1-0ubuntu4 --------------- gnome-session (3.2.1-0ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low
* Backport some of the Debian changes * debian/control.in: - drop the Recommends on gnome-power-manager, the code gnome-session uses has moved to gnome-settings-daemon - drop the build-depends on librsvg2-dev - Recommends "unity | unity-2d | gnome-shell" rather than Depends on it, some users want to use gnome-session without those (lp: #854058). * debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch: - restore the "no notifications in fallback sessions" for Ubuntu, the required components need an autostart .desktop where notify-osd doesn't have one, let them be dbus activated rather (lp: #885939) [ Michael Biebl ] * Remove Depends on policykit-1-gnome from gnome-session as gnome-shell provides its own integrated PolicyKit authentication agent. * Remove notification-daemon from gnome-session Recommends as gnome-shell has an integrated notification system. * Make notification-daemon a Depends of the gnome-session-fallback and remove debian/patches/13_no_fallback_notification.patch so the session manager starts notification-daemon in the fallback case. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2.

Most of these users believe they are running the gnome classic session and that compiz failed to start. The fact is that notify-osd is causing the gnome-classic session to fail entirely, and the gnome-fallback session is loaded instead (which of course does not load compiz). The gnome-classic session works fine after removing notify-osd from the RequiredProviders line of the file /usr/share /gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session. It should be noted that notify-osd still starts after removing it from the RequiredProviders, and seems to still be working. So most likely it is just an error in communication between notify-osd and the gnome session (inverted boolean return value perhaps?).
