            Bug ID: 99288
           Summary: Check if user belongs to weston-launch group always
                    fails if user in wheel
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: medium
         Component: weston
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: johalun0 at gmail.com

Problem:
https://github.com/wayland-project/weston/blob/master/libweston/weston-launch.c#L158
This will exit early if user belongs to wheel group (id=0) it is listed before
weston-launch in the list of groups.

Solution:
Get number of groups (=n) and iterate from 0 to n-1.

n = getgroups(0, NULL);
for (i = 0; i<n; ++i) {
    ...
}
