Bug description:
When running wayland, GDM fails to set up an XAUTHORITY file and instead
relies on the process UID for authentication. This prevents
applications run as root, like gparted or synaptic from connecting to
the server. GDM needs to set up the XAUTHORITY file when running
Xwayland just like it does when it runs the conventional Xorg.
