System Information
Pop!_OS 18.04 (Recently upgraded from 17.10 and X.org broke)
i3-2100
8GB DDR3
RX460 & Intel HD Graphics 2000
Wacom Intuos CTL-490
Gnome 3.28.3 on Wayland

Blender Version
Broken: 2abbe1d125, 2.79

Short description of error
Blender causes Wayland to crash to the login screen when buttons on my Wacom tablet are pressed. Mapping the buttons to shortcut in the Gnome settings fixes this. Using the tablet's pen and drawing area are fine. Blender itself does not make an error log, but this only happens in Blender.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender
Press a macro button on the Wacom, without mapping them to anything in the Gnome settings.
(Violent Explosion!)

You might want to file this as a bug with Pop OS. I'm not aware of anyone developing or testing in this platform which appears to be an Ubuntu derivative. The Pop OS website doesn't make this real clear.

A quick look at your log file shows a whole bunch of errors and warnings that don't appear to be related to Blender.

Blender is known to be buggy on wayland.

Not a Blender issue indeed (though Blender does use the old version of xorg handling of tablets and such devices iirc, while most other graphical apps have switched to more modern one, but that’s not a blender bug).

@mont29 Ahh, that makes sense. I figured it might just be a Wayland bug, but I could only get it to happen with Blender so went ahead a reported it anyway.
