Bug Description
GNOME sessions need renaming (too many people are choosing the X11 one over Wayland).
This would be because:
X11 is named "GNOME"
Wayland is named "GNOME on Wayland"
A consequence of many people choosing the former is a high rate of X11 crashes: bug 1556601 and bug 1505409

The prefix, and the default session, have both changed now. No bug.
