Hi,

you could script it by "simply" starting the client some time after
weston-launch, but that's fragile.

Instead, you're probably interested in this:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-October/017971.html

Unfortunately, I do not know when we might get back to working on that
feature.

If you are interested in tackling that feature yourself, you could ask
Fred (in CC) how far he got.


Thanks,
