This is simply Xwayland telling your Wayland compositor (namely gnome-shell/mutter) has died.

Basically, gnome-shell (now) runs Xwayland with “-core” which means that *any* FatalError() in Xwayland will dump a core file.

xwl_read_events() triggers a FatalError() because the Wayland socket is unusable, and it's unusable because the Wayland compositor (the other side of the socket) has died, i.e. crashed most likely.

The Wayland compositor is gnome-shell/mutter, so if you could please look into journalctl and coredumpctl to find a backtrace and/or generate one with coredumpctl and gdb.

From comment 15, this is most likely a dupe of bug 1500325.
