I got several requests to also backport this change to precise, as
this is considered as very annoying and confusing. For precise this
needs to be implemented in a different way as that still uses
ConsoleKit instead of logind cgroups, but it's certainly intended to
SRU this. Would this address this concern?

Also, crashes that happen at session logout aren't really something
that a user would ever perceive as "unreliable". I claim that counting
these as user-visible crashes was wrong in the first place.
