<pre>Weston's Wayland-backend is meant for running Weston under another Wayland
compositor, yes. Just like the DRM backend is for running Weston on DRM/KMS,
the fbdev backend is for running Weston on /dev/fb, and the X11 backend is for
running Weston under an X server.

This is because Weston 1.6.0 IIRC did not yet automatically search for a free
socket name. You can work around that by specifying --socket with an unused
name on the command line. Weston 1.7.0 should find a free socket name
automatically.

You can run whatever compositor you want. Weston is just one of them and not in
any way mandatory. GNOME has one, KDE has one, E has one, and there are more.

I can't see why? If it works, you already have a Wayland environment running,
and you don't need Weston with the wayland backend.
I think you are confusing some concepts here. The wayland backend is *not*
needed to get a Wayland environment running. A Wayland compositor provides a
Wayland environment for its clients in any case.</pre>
