Bug#815829: gdm3: Unable to disable Wayland

[Kevin Gallagher]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.18.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer

On a fresh installation of Debian sid.

Setting in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf:

        [daemon]
        WaylandEnable=false

Has no effect. After reboot, Xwayland is still running.

Expected result: Wayland should not start and Gnome should use xserver-xorg
instead.
