Hi,

why is it using weston-launch when you have systemd?

No, that does not fully work, unless you have modified chromium to also
take care of weston-desktop-shell's responsibilities.

weston-desktop-shell does not only do the wallpaper and panel, it also
provides the lock screen and pointer cursors for grabs and unresponsive
apps, plus more. See weston-desktop-shell.xml in Weston repository.

It may appear to work at first, but you will miss the corner cases.

Doing that also gives the app privileges it would not have otherwise
(i.e. bind to and use weston_desktop_shell interface).


Thanks,
pq
