There are systemd system units launching Weston in the way you want,
and I intend to send a Weston patch to add an example of one to be
installed with Weston (as an example, not directly usable, since it
will likely need a tweak or two for each distribution, the user to
launch it as comes to mind).

Yes, it's working. PAMName=login might be the magic trick, but I need to
study it a bit.
