I meant that I want still open weston directly without a glued daemon 
coming behind. And yes, for debugging only, so it's okay to start as

be able to start weston without the daemon.

IMHO we don't need this sleep at all, but if you find useful at least 
document properly (in -help output and in the code) why is needed for.
