Ok, you mean just the normal log file writing. I do not understand why you
explained (half incorrectly) about multiple processes and communication then.

Wayland is not code you could run, therefore it does not write logs.

libwayland has a log capture API: wl_log_set_handler_client() for clients and
wl_log_set_handler_server() for servers.

Every display server has its own way of storing its log output.

Weston by default writes its log output to stderr, but you can use --log
command line option to direct it to a file, if you do not want to use shell
output redirection. See 'man weston'.

So, what exactly is missing that Xorg has?
