Are you sure it listens on IP? With Weston looking at 'ss -a -p', Xwayland has
only unix stream sockets.

It probably depends on how the Wayland compositor launches Xwayland. If the
Wayland compositor actually wants to have Xwayland listen on IP, then it should
work, so this bug report seems valid.

However, if the Wayland compositor enables IP, and you think that is a mistake,
then you should report that to the Wayland compositor project in question.
