Does startx use flashback script file? Or it use directly gnome-session?

Unfortunately it appears that startx runs Xsession which runs /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager which is a symlink to /usr/bin/gnome-session.
So /usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-metacity is not executed at all in this case.

Will this be enough?:

    #!/bin/sh

    if [ -z "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" ]; then
       export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Flashback:GNOME
    fi

    exec gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity
    --disable-acceleration-check "$@"

With x2go it was enough (note the quotes I added).
Having ":GNOME" instead of ":Unity" there made the menu fonts lighter, I don't know if it also changed something else.

That is not my problem... :P Correct upstream parent desktop is GNOME! Dmitry will need to patch data/Makefile.am to change parent desktop to Unity. I have pushed that change to master and gnome-3-18 branch - so most likely it will be in Ubuntu 16.04. :)
