I don't know if you noticed, but the only flavors currently installing
xdiagnose are Ubuntu (Desktop), Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu Kylin, so it's
not a very popular utility among flavors.

Title:
  xdiagnose does nothing in Wayland

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in xdiagnose package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  What happens
  ===========
  1. Try Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 Beta on a computer using open source graphics drivers (Intel is recommended).
  2. On the login screen, select your user name. Before entering your password, click the gear button and choose "GNOME on Wayland". Enter your password and log in.
  3. Try to run xdiagnose.
  4. Nothing happens

  What I expected
  ===============
  1. xdiagnose could be adapted to analyze and report issues with Wayland
  2. xdiagnose could explain why it doesn't work on Wayland
  3. Otherwise, it would be nice if xdiagnose wouldn't show up in the Activities Overview when Wayland is running but that's more complicated. (Maybe XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP could be expanded to add Wayland as a string and xdiagnose.desktop could add NotShowIn=Wayland)
