This version can launch a bare ubuntu desktop session from a
console just by running
snap run ubuntu-desktop-session
This session still doesn't have sound, can't launch programs...
is extremely limited, but it's a beginning.
It works on a modified core24-desktop with all the GDM and Gnome
packages removed (basically the 002.1-add-gdm.chroot file is
removed), and still uses it as base.
The next step is to use core24 as base. For that, we need to
find which packages install gnome-initial-setup that are
required for DRI/DRM, because without it (installed with the
002.4-configure-system-setup-tool.chroot), gnome shell returns
an error when trying to create the graphical console.
Tracker is required for nautilus and DING
The problem was that some services were being activated by DBus, when they should be activated by gnome-session. Removing the bus activation parts fixed it.

This patch fixes setting the background picture (but not a background uniform color)
The interface makes gnome shell to do "odd things" during startup, due to setting environment variables when launching daemons.

It was added only to have access to StartTransientUnit and remove the error messages in journalctl, but it isn't really required, and prevents the snap to be automatically accepted in the store.

stand-aloneworking version. This snap contains a fully working, stand-alone, Ubuntu Desktop Session, and also removes duplicated files from gtk-common-themes and core24, which reduces de size in about 50 MBytes. Duplicated libraries from gnome-46-2404 is a little more complex, due to several conflicts, so it will be delayed for a future version, although it could free another 50MBytes approximately.It requires canonical/core-base-desktop#76
