fallback greeter's a11y story is not very solid anymore

Description
Here's a meta-bug collecting various issues in the new gdm session from 3.1.90. I didn't want to file many small bugs, but I can split things if needed:
-
data/applications/gnome-shell.desktop.in: uses /usr/bin/gnome-shell, instead of just gnome-shell. I'm not sure if this is on purpose?
-
data/gdm-shell.session.in: checks for mutter (to look at the version). However, gnome-shell doesn't need the mutter binary (only libmutter), so there's no guarantee that this will work.
-
data/applications/gok.desktop.in: gok is dead, deprecated, and everything. This should be replaced by caribou, I guess.
-
data/applications/gnome-mag.desktop.in: gnome-mag is as dead as gok. Maybe we should simply just consider that we have no good a11y story for gdm-fallback?
-
data/applications/{gok,gnome-mag,orca}.desktop.in: actually, those are useless now. Since they're not installed in a directory that is used as autostart, those files will never be looked at by gnome-session. (also, their AutostartCondition are about gconf keys)
I can make patch for all of above; just tell me what's right to do :-)
Version: 3.1.x
