I'm only recently familiar with the Mutter design, but...
Mutter is the graphics platform on which gnome-shell is built. Mutter
supports running under a Xorg server, or none at all on bare metal
(Wayland mode). So in order to provide a seamless consistent interface
in the latter case it spawns

Phillip,
Mutter is not just a binary, but is also the library which provides ALL
the graphics for the login screen and gnome-shell. So yes Ubuntu does
use mutter for everything :)
If your Wayland login option has gone missing then that means the
Wayland backend ("eglnative") of mutter had
Ubuntu doesn't use mutter by default though ( is that what lubuntu uses?
). I looked at this again today and for some reason gdm isn't giving
the option to log in with a wayland session. I switched to lightdm and
it appears to not bother with Xwayland and just runs gnome-shell, and
gnome-shell
I updated the bug description to point to how openSUSE handles this bug
and opened a mutter task in case we want to copy it.

How is not properly setting up the session, and preventing root from
showing things on the display, "for security"?
root, by definition, has the ability to do anything anywhere on the
system. Including reading and writing other users' files; reading and
writing the memory of processes (and FD's
It has been widely publicized at least since Fedora 25's release a year
ago that GNOME on Wayland does not support running GUI apps as root. It
has long been best practice for apps to not do this. Instead of trying
to implement clever workarounds, app developers should follow best
practice here.

When/if GParted is ported to gtk3, THEN the work around can be removed.
In the mean time the xhost workaround enables people to continue using
GParted.

No, it is NOT the new standard since as I have said, wayland apps have
no issue running as root. Applications will NOT be totally rewritten to
split off the parts that need root into a separate program. YOU stop
changing the title, YOU are being a nuisance: this does not just affect
