I suspect this is happening because Xwayland has crashed (you can
find out by looking at previous lines in the system log). If it
is, please report that as a bug in Xwayland, with a backtrace:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace

It is unlikely to be possible to fix this without either a backtrace,
or a sequence of instructions to reproduce the same crash.
