Bug description:
When picking GNOME on Wayland as session and attempting to login from
LightDM then it fails, all you see is a black screen with a blinking
cursor.
However, manually running:
$ dbus-run-session gnome-shell --display-server --wayland
from the console/vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) seems to work.
But from LightDM it does not work.
