gnome-tweak-tool "Show location of pointer" (now "Pointer Location") does not work under Wayland

[Wise Melon]

I have found that after switching from Xorg to Wayland via the login screen on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 that the "Show location of pointer" gnome-tweak-tool option no longer functions in the sense that when the setting is on and I press CTRL nothing happens.

Confirmed in artful too. It works in the GNOME session (Xorg) but not in GNOME on Wayland.
