But I did install the nvidia driver from a deb file (from one of the
graphics driver PPAs). (What makes you suspect that I installed it using
the nvidia installer?)

It's true that the first time you install the nvidia driver (and I mean
via the PPA deb file), it tends to make
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libGL.so point at the nvidia drivers, but this isn't the case in my
setup, which works fine in artful, just not in bionic. (You just have to
run "sudo prime-select intel" to fix this.)

I guess that the affected package should probably be gdm3 instead of
gnome-shell since gdm3 is already running under X on llvmpipe by the
time it runs gnome-shell. Is there a way to figure out why gdm3 can't
run in a Wayland session, eg log messages describing why it rejects the
Intel MESA driver?

** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => gdm3 (Ubuntu)
