[Bug 1747211] Re: gparted won't display with multiple screens available

[Nathan]

After some more testing, Gparted works fine under xorg, but crashes
under Wayland with both one or two monitors - so is likely a duplicate
of the bug you mention.

That said, wayland gives better automatic scaling on the desktop with my
HDMI TV than does xorg.

Please note that I have installed no proprietary drivers for the
A6-9500's Radeon R5 integrated graphics. I presume that this "additional
drivers" option will come in 18.04LTS? At the moment it has to be done
installed manually by the looks of things.
