This is the simplest possible hook that just adds a wayland tag

=wayland-session


It would be good to also detect if an app is running in wayland or Xwayland, however I need to find a better way to do this, since the env vars such as GDK_BACKEND=wayland, doesnt necessarily  guarantee that backend was used.

Title:
  apport hook to detect wayland sessions

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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
