[PATCH] Wayland X server uses xwayand.conf instead of xorg.conf

[Bill Spitzak]

Are you saying that if I make $PREFIX/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/foo and put my 
config in there, xwayland will read it? And it will then ignore the 
xorg.conf?

I still do not see this solving the real problem however. The normal 
Xorg will follow the exact same rules, so if xwayland is compiled 
without $PREFIX then it is impossible to use this to make xwayland and 
normal Xorg see different config files. Even with $PREFIX this does not 
allow xwayland to see "no" config file, as the missing file will make it 
still fall back to searching everywhere and it will find the xorg.conf 
file that I do not want it to see.

So I still feel that my solution of changing the conf file name is the 
only thing that will work. We can put it in xorg.conf.d if that makes 
some kind of sense (though I completely do not understand the purpose of 
this).
