[Bug 1418262] [NEW] apport hook to detect wayland sessions

 

Public bug reported:

Now that we have an experimental GNOME wayland session in vivid, it
would be somewhat useful for apport to detect if a bug report is from a
wayland session. It probably makes sense for this to be global  since
other projects will eventually offer wayland sessions as well. Not sure
on the best place for this to live though in apport or in wayland
packaging or elsewhere?

detecting WAYLAND_DISPLAY env is probably enough to detect a running
session, and there may be a few other useful env variables such as
(GDK/CLUTTER)_BACKEND etc
