Mutter developers? Do you mean redhat bugzilla? I think it's ubuntu
packaging and/or configuration issue at the moment. Fedora builds this
package with egl streams backend. They even backported this feature from
3.23 into 3.22 branch, as I've read at least (correct me if I'm wrong).

Regarding LP:#1559576 and LP:#1632322:

The inability of gdm3 to start is caused by crash in gnome-shell/mutter:
   97.316787] gnome-shell[2436]: segfault at 28 ip 00007f6721c4e614 sp 
00007ffc94b6bd40 error 4 in libmutter-0.so.0.0.0[7f6721c07000+12e000]

After this crash gdm3 cannot find one of the services registered by
gnome via dbus and fails.

I've also found kinda 'workaround', which enables me to start gdm3
(manually): After gdm3 fails to start I can log in via tty, execute
"sudo lightdm --test-mode", and then terminate it. After this action
gdm3 starts perfectly fine.

The interesting fact is also, that when mutter is built with eglstreams
backend, it starts perfectly fine. The gnome-shell (same as above)
occurs much later, when I try to log in into gnome-shell xorg session.

This (or similar) crash can be found in several tickets in bugzilla.

This workaround and the fact, that gdm3 starts with wayland points me to
an idea, that the problem is somewhere in the system
initialization/configuration.

I didn't had much time to investigate this issue further.
