Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
In the gdm selector for choosing the session type, there is the text "Ubuntu Classic Session (no effect)" which would be better written as "Ubuntu Classic Session (no effects)" or "Ubuntu Classic Session (effects disabled)". The phrase "no effect" denotes that something doesn't do anything (since it has no effect), which can confuse the user as to what purpose that option serves. The plural is more clearly indicative that the login option will disable desktop effects. I personally think that "effects disabled" is a pretty clear wording.

Thanks for reporting this issue, Wayne; I too reacted to that menu label.
A solution is available in lp:~gunnarhj/gnome-session/lp-730382, which is proposed to be merged. Chose to just suggest the addition of a plural 's'. Think that's sufficient, and also easier to translate in some cases than "effects disabled".
