What I found strange was that running Jessie and cracking open synaptic 
I found a bunch of lib-wayland  packages and if you try to remove them, 
that will rip out solitaire, your desktop and half the rest of the 
install. If I'm running X, what gives?? I run multi-monitors (4) and two 
nVidia cards, and from what I've read, Wayland won't play nice with that 
setup. Ric
