The problem is the nvidia driver. Gnome on Wayland is not supported with the nvidia drivers.
If you want Gnome on Wayland your only option at the moment is the open-source nouveau driver.
While the nvidia drivers theoretically support wayland, practically speaking they only work with a custom build version of weston with patches from nvidia applied.
There is still a big discussion going on between the wayland people and nvidia about each of their implementations. Iirc there is a meet-up planned atm to work towards a solution.

a) you need to install wayland.
b) wayland does not work with nvidia driver.
c) at least a) is clearly mentioned in wiki.

I was going to close and bin this crosspost, but Rasi provided good information and I hate to negate their efforts.
