Hmm, do they work on Ubuntu 18.04's Gnome3-based user interface

AFAIK any X client will work in a Wayland session just fine, thanks to
XWayland.
XFCE won't run on Ubuntu 18.04 unless you set Ubuntu to use X instead
of Wayland. And it doesn't run reliably even then.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's finding Ubuntu bionic to be,
um...not quite what you expect from LTS releases. I tried to migrate a
CUDA GPU machine to it for my employer, and found that due to
miscellaneous problems with Wayland, Gnome 3, systemd/DNS, etc., it was
necessary to revert to backups of the previous install. Just an
amazingly broken mess.
I tried doing Ubuntu's "upgrade to new distribution" thing on my wife's
laptop. It had worked perfectly when moving her from Ubuntu 14 to 16. It
cranked away, announced that it was done and ready to reboot. Rebooted
but had no working network connection. It appears that Ubuntu 18 decided
to use a whole new application for network manager, and upgrading in
place I guess couldn't be bothered to translate the existing network
configuration to the new application.
Doesn't quite seem like an LTS version to me, either.
