Bug Description

After a fresh reboot choosing Xorg over Wayland I received this system crash error.

The reason I was choosing Xorg over Wayland was that when using Xoom conferencing software I was unable to share my screen with the other party. The error message said something like, 'screen-sharing is not available in Wayland, please use Xorg instead'.
