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.
