Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 19.04, I installed Plasma with 'apt install kde-standard
plasma-workspace-wayland', and when asked I told to keep gdm3 as the
login manager.

Expected result:

- GDM offers Plasma Wayland as a session

Actual result:

- GDM offers only Plasma session, which is a Xorg session

According to the hint from https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/dim3fo/gdm_does_not_see_the_plasma_wayland_session/f5nyjgi/ I edited /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop:
- deleted all Name and Comment lines
- added line: Name=Plasma Wayland

After logging out and back in GDM, GDM now offers Plasma Wayland session
and launches it ok.
