            Bug ID: 62092
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: weston should not abort if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: pochu27 at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 1.0.90
         Component: weston
           Product: Wayland

Currently weston aborts if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is unset. However the XDG base dir
spec says:

"If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set applications should fall back to a replacement
directory with similar capabilities and print a warning message."[1]

This is specially problematic because of weston-launch resetting the
environment (bug 61877).
