I am not sure I understand; that file is a service that's enable via
systemctl and it launches weston once the graphic is ready, right?

How else would you start weston on boot? Is there already a weston service
I am missing? That might simplify things for me.

FWICT benja works already pretty well and for a kiosk like system I think
the following is enough, or at least it is enough for benja use case ...
isn't it? Am I missing some configuration?

```
[core]
idle-time=0
modules=xwayland.so

[shell]
client=/usr/bin/app
animation=none
close-animation=none
startup-animation=none
locking=false
```

can you please indicate some of these corner cases?

Thank you.
