Looks like another area where we assume that upstart is providing init.

A console session has "/sbin/upstart --user" in it's process tree, so we should probably use that if the system doesn't use upstart as init.

These sessions are affected:

> root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/upstart-xsessions 
> # xsessions listed below are run inside an Upstart user session.
> gnome
> gnome-classic
> gnome-fallback
> gnome-flashback-metacity
> gnome-flashback-compiz

> lxgames

This can also happen on 14.10 if you are using systemd as init.

Ubuntu's own scripts have been changed to use the command "upstart" rather than "init" in order to start sessions. This command is a new command for 14.10.

Fixed in r30270.

Needs to be tested on 14.04 to verify that we still run "init" there, and on something newer to make sure we use "upstart" there.

Works fine on 15.04. Still need to test on 14.04.

Also works fine on 14.04, thanks to Henrik for testing.
