Workarounds for Intel video driver X11 crashes

[Ted Roche]

Tom:

The last time I crashed back to the login screen I hit the little
'gear' icon to see what choices I had installed, and I could pick from
"GNOME" "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME with Wayland" (iirc, perhaps not
verbatim). I had been using "GNOME Classic" and thought I'd try
Wayland for the experience. So far, no crashes, but it's only been a
few hours.
