This looks like a duplicate of bug 1713313 but LP keeps timing out when I try to mark it as one.

The problem seems to be a general Xwayland permission issue, since nothing can connect to the display server if sudo/su is used: $ sudo xclock No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0 $ xauth list xauth: file /home/user/.Xauthority does not exist If that's the way things are going to be in Ubuntu from now on, we need to make apport-bug a bit smarter in the way it decides whether to use the GUI version or not.
