Title:
  Installing gnome-shell-extensions will make Gnome Classic the default
  session at login time

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
