Comment 8 for bug 1724810

Yep, we got the same issue, not sure what wayland is doing, but probably this is the issue (quoting upstream)

fun: Wayland crashes if you open and close a laptop lid too fast. This is apparently not a bug but a design error in the protocol.
And it has been causing me endless fun over the past week.
