a few jessie gnome-desktop live runtime issues

After applying my patch for #758218, and patching my live-images gnome-desktop config as described in my previous email <53f12b56.7060...@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca>, I can produce an image that boots successfully with these three glitches: 1. The i386 image includes 486 & 686-pae kernels, but only one
