<pre>No, it's not supposed to work. weston-launch needs setuid root for correct
operation and we're not going to install weston-launch in a way that doesn't
work by default. You can run weston-launch using sudo or manually set the
setuid bit, but in either case you need to pass --disable-setuid-install to
indicate that you know what you're doing.</pre>
