Bug Description
What happens
===========
1. Try Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 Beta on a computer using open source graphics drivers (Intel is recommended).
2. On the login screen, select your user name. Before entering your password, click the gear button and choose "GNOME on Wayland". Enter your password and log in.
3. Try to run xdiagnose.
4. Nothing happens
What I expected
===============
1. xdiagnose could be adapted to analyze and report issues with Wayland
2. xdiagnose could explain why it doesn't work on Wayland
3. Otherwise, it would be nice if xdiagnose wouldn't show up in the Activities Overview when Wayland is running but that's more complicated. (Maybe XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP could be expanded to add Wayland as a string and xdiagnose.desktop could add NotShowIn=Wayland)

New installs of Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 do not have xdiagnose.
Since the Ubuntu Desktop team has a goal of switching to GNOME on Wayland by default for 18.04 LTS, I propose we drop xdiagnose from the default Ubuntu install too.
