Bug Description
After updating to gnome 3.25.91, and now testing in 3.26, I cannot login to wayland session, either ubuntu o vanilla gnome. Xorg session works fine, and wayland session worked fine before updating.
The only error I can detect in the logs is "Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.

monitors.xml
Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha
I built gnome-settings- daemon, mutter and gnome-shell 3.25.91 for upload to Ubuntu. I rebooted and tried to log in with my new packages (I had been using 3.25.90 before). GDM showed up but logging in to GNOME didn't work.
