In addition to not working in Wayland, major shutter-features are
starting to die in Ubuntu 18.04 (to be release this Thursday
2018-04-26). It seems that (upstream) debian has too soon removed the
libgoo-canvas-perl package which allows quick and simple editing of
screen-shots (via right-click > edit, in Shutter):

perl/+bug/1765726

Ubuntu 18.04 runs GNOME3-Xorg by default, so it is a shame that some of
shutter's features are dying due to packages that were too soon removed
from the repository. Ubuntu 18.04 is a long term support release that
will always be GNOME3 Xorg by default. I see no reason way shutter
should not be able to work just as well in 18.04 as it did in 16.04,
since both use Xorg by default.

So, to me, more urgent than Wayland support, is to re-include the
packages that worked fine under Xorg, so that users can upgrade from
16.04 to 18.04 without losing major features (unnecessarily) in shutter.
