Subject: [PATCH 1/2] main: Show a warning when running as root

gnome-session used to show a dialog in this case, but a
notification is more natural nowadays. Doing it in gnome-shell
avoids complicated synchronization between gnome-session and
gnome-shell.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] main: Show a warning when gdm is missing

If we are not running under gdm, some functionaliy (such as
the lock screen) does not work, and we should inform the
user about this.
