[Bug 1223666] [NEW] update notifier is no longer using a delayed autostart

Public bug reported:

Prior to upstart user sessions update-notifier was set to autostart with
a 60sec delay.

X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=60

This value is however no longer honoured and instead update-notifier
starts immediately. In the case of pending crash reports the UI pops up
in the top left of screen well before the window manager has loaded.
Which really does seem visually strange.
