Hey,

Thanks for the v2, I applied it on the core-updates-frozen branch
because that's where it tested it. It should soon be merged in the
master branch.

I edited the patches to add your copyrights on top of the edited
files. I also wrapped a few lines and edited the commit messages.

OK so we are on the same page. Do you think you could send a patch
enabling Wayland by default for GDM and the associated documentation
update :)?

Thanks for your work on that topic,

Mathieu
