This mostly fixes the issue, thanks. But for some reason, when
selecting Unity as the session type I don't get a top menu and the
windows inside the session lack their decoration. Using a custom
session with "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" gets me the expected
behaviour.

Can I do the above configuration change in a way that doesn't involve
changing a conffile and thus having to deal with a conflict on package
updates?
