Hmm, not really. Weston itself contains plugins that are specific to
the DE and Weston is meant to run in the user session, with the normal
user privileges and uid/gid. I'm not sure how that translates to the
dbus session though.

However, I get a feeling this desktop file depends on things that
weren't documented in the file.

Does it depend on a logind implementation completely replacing the need
of weston-launch? Or does a login manager do something that avoids the
need for weston-launch?

VT setup and clean-up, VT switching, opening input and output devices...

I assume Weston is not running on top of another display server, or is
it?


Thanks,
