             Bug #: 46629
           Summary: should weston set WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable for
                    weston-desktop-shell (based on --socket argument)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: weston

The problem is right now that when you try to run weston nested under a main
weston server, you have to set WAYLAND_DISPLAY for the nested display, and the
--socket for the display name for the nested one.  After starting nested
weston, weston-desktop-shell in the nested weston display has the
WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable for the main display, which makes any programs
launched from the nested shells icons appear in the main display instead of the
nested one.

My thought is that weston should set WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable to what is
specified to --socket to the child process.
