Description of problem: I'm currently testing Fedora 25 (Gnome+Wayland session). I can't launch system-config-users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-users-1.3.8-2.fc24.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch the tool from Gnome's acivities overview. Actual results: The tool crashes [juliux@extensa ~]$ system-config-users No protocol specified system-config-users necessita di un server X avviato. GtkWarning: 'could not open display' Expected results: Ideally, the tool should work with Wayland tool. Additional info: Setting severity to low, since this doesn't have a broad impact (Gnome provides its tools in order to manage system's users account)
I can confirm the issue isn't reproducible on Gnome+Xorg. Setting this to block the "Wayland-related" tracker.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
