Hi Franz,

They are indeed missing in Wayland, even when forcing the setting with
Gnome Tweak Tool -- does it work for you? I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. Out of
curiosity, what was the rationale behind this design decision? It seems
weird to remove something without providing a replacement or alternative.

Thanks!
