i've got a head full of workarounds today...

write a simple wrapper script:

  #!/bin/sh

  exec gnome-session --session=classic-gnome $@

and add an update-alternatives entry for it:

  sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager \
       x-session-manager /usr/local/bin/gnome-classic 50
  sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

additionally, you could install a tweaked .desktop file in 
/usr/share/xsessions.

of course the correct solution is to backport the fix :)


live well,
