[OE-core] [PATCH v2] weston-init: Use weston-launch for XWayland

Hi Alex,

We're wondering how best to fix this.

The Weston website seems to give the answer for a run-time solution, which is basically 'if $DISPLAY is set use weston, otherwise use weston-launch'.

http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html

Is that the right approach? Another possibility is to make it a build-time solution where the bsp layer sets a variable controlling the selection.

Thanks for your help.

Tom

Nope. XWayland support and weston-launch support are configured separately. One may be present and the other one absent, both ways.
