Hi Matt,

this patch is:

Reviewed-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

The wording in the man page sounds little like WAYLAND_DISPLAY
accepting an absolute path is a side-effect rather than an intentional
feature, but it doesn't matter.

Everyone,

if there are no objections, I will push this patch on Wednesday, that
is in two days. If you want your R-b or Acks recorded that are not
already in the above, please send them explicitly.


Thanks,
pq
