+ I recently updated to Ubuntu 18.10, and I seem to have hit a new bug
+ with gnome-shell/wayland.

When an external monitor is attached or detached, gnome-shell crashes
with a segmentation fault and falls back to a gdm session. This appears
in dmesg :
[97490.001835] gnome-shell[9151]: segfault at fbc8 ip

I've also attached the syslog file, starting from where the monitor was
plugged in. Here are some of the highlights. First, the monitor is
attached, and gnome-shell reaches for St.Bin and finds it already
deallocated :
Oct 24 12:37:00 evenedric kernel: [97488.486851] [drm] Reducing the
compressed framebuffer size. This may lead to less power savings than a
non-reduced-size. Try to increase stolen memory size if available in BIOS.

has been already deallocated — impossible to set any property on it. This might
be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such
as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs.

This is then followed by the teardown for the whole session, eventually
culminating in bringing up a new gdm login session. If you read through
the attached syslog file, you can see the whole mess unfold. At about
12:37:05, I plug in an external mouse. Then colord makes a ton of noise
for some reason, possibly related to the external monitor. Then I fire
up my Bluetooth keyboard and log into a new session.
This appears to be a regression. I've used this exact configuration
(gdm3 and gnome-shell running in Wayland, with an external monitor that
I use while I'm at work) for several Ubuntu, Gnome and Wayland releases.
This appears to be a new issue.
