Title:
  UIFe: Drop xterm and xdiagnose from default install

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact
  ======
  I'm proposing to drop 3 apps from the default Ubuntu 17.10 install:
  XTerm
  UXTerm
  xdiagnose

  These are visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities
  Overview so this could impact screenshots.

  Justification
  =============
  These were only in the default install because of the FailsafeX feature.
  Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton), maintainer of Ubuntu's X stack and co-maintainer in 
Debian, has said that feature isn't important any more, considering the 
transition to Wayland.

  xdiagnose also provided some apport hooks for diagnosing display
  problems but that was moved to xorg itself earlier this release cycle.

  xdiagnose currently doesn't run in the Ubuntu session on Wayland.
