OK, Alberto on the upstream bug says it is not the same as my bug, because
the upstream bug is for systems with only an nvidia card.
Mine is an Optimus bug. His point is, I think, that gdm chooses wayland
based on the modesetting value of the first card it sees, which in the case
of an Optimus laptop is the intel video, and the upstream bug is only for
situations where the first card is nvidia, which means it can't apply to
Optimus laptops. However, it seemed the same to me because Wayland and
nvidia modesetting don't seem to work in 17.04 or 17.10. If I can help at
all with testing please let me know.
