If we make gnome-session-flashback script not pass --session twice if
it’s provided in the arguments, that will be helpful. I am not sure
how to do that in a shell script, though.

Nice idea. Basically, our script reads $WINDOW_MANAGER, and if that
doesn't exist, falls back to the WM provided by the Debian
alternatives system (i.e. specified by user at package install time).
