Issue description

Mostly opening for investigation, someone in IRC mentioned that they couldn't
get a wayland session to start when using lightdm, as they noticed this when $XDG_SESSION_TYPE == x11.

I was then able to reproduce this within a VM.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable GNOME3 and use lightdm as a display-manager
  2. Try to start the GNOME session
  3. Realize that you're running the gnome-xorg session
