<pre>Weston uses default shell inside "src/weston-launch.c:launch_compositor",
but "$@" is invalid inside fish shell (and in a lot of other shells, for that
matter). So I think we shouldn't use default shell, but rather something like
"/bin/sh" or something similar.
Here is example of an error:
$ weston-launch
fish: Could not expand string “"$@"”
Standard input: /usr/bin/weston "$@"
