Please open a bug for this by running "ubuntu-bug libcanberra-gtk3-module",
similar to these, tagged "wayland":

I haven't seen this, which application or applications produced it?

For running outside of X, yes, I should add that.

When running with weston SUID root, yeah, that's a good idea too.

From: http://www.chaosreigns.com/wayland/works/
'To get gnome-terminal to work outside of windows, you probably want to
launch weston as "dbus-launch ~/install/bin/weston", and run gnome-terminal
as "gnome-terminal --disable-factory".'

I suspect running weston through dbus-launch has a similar effect, but I
bet running weston SUID root breaks it.

What exactly did you see?  Did it run, without crashing, but not display
any output?  I've seen that sometimes, other times it works.  Occasionally
it doesn't display until... I'm not sure what happens.
