Dear Michel, I actually found out why XWayland won't start with my specific configuration.
I have keychain in my .zprofile and I am using the Z-shell. Keychain was configured in the way to ask for the SSH password resulting in a command input prompt waiting when the Z-shell for the user gets executed. The command causing the trouble was: keychain --ignore-missing --nocolor --nogui --quiet --agents ssh id_rsa I changed it, by adding --noask, to: keychain --noask --ignore-missing --nocolor --nogui --quiet --agents ssh id_rsa Now Xwayland with gnome-session is loading up fine again! Thank you very much for your help.
