[Balint Reczey]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
+ 
  Users can't upgrade to next Ubuntu release running the upgrade GUI under Wayland.
  The backport is needed to let Artful users to upgrade to Bionic without applying workarounds manually.
  
  [Test Case (for update-manager)]
+ 
  1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available
  2. Start a wayland session (Ubuntu in GDM)
  3. open a terminal and run the following command:
-   $ update-manager -cd
+   $ update-manager -cd
  4. When you're prompted to upgrade to 18.04, accept and proceed.
  
- Expected result on fixed version:
- Upgrade starts.
- 
- Result on unfixed version:
- The GUI crashes.
+ Expected result on fixed version: Upgrade starts.
+ Result on unfixed version: The GUI crashes.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  The upgrade GUI may crash in a different way when applying the workaround fails.
+ Do-release-upgrade may fail to detect development or versions to upgrade to.
+ The workaround "xhost -si:localuser:root" may be added under Xorg as well
