[Bug 1725523] [NEW] Installing gnome-shell-extensions will make Gnome Classic the default session at login time

[Ubuntu Tinkerer]

Public bug reported:

If you install gnome-shell-extensions then Gnome Classic will be enabled
as a session that the user can choose at login-time. Not only that, but
it will also become the session chosen by **default**.

When the user logs out and back in its very likely that they miss that
Gnome Classic was chosen. When the login is completed the user will be
confused because they are presented with a Ubuntu 17.10 that looks ugly
and doesn't work correctly.

Gnome Classic shouldn't be enabled by installing gnome-shell-extensions,
or shouldn't atleast become the session chosen by default upon logging
in.

Kind regards, Arash
