So are you actually using this as your primary UI now? The reason I stopped using weston as my primary UI in September was this segfault bug which I hit maybe a few times a day, triggered by xwayland: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59983
And I believe not using xwayland still pretty substantially limits the applications you can use, particularly browsers. Snowshoe (using Qt5) might be a decent option? Anybody know of any others more usable than qtwebkit? The only person I know of using weston as his primary UI is min2, who said he's not using a graphical browser at all, due to this segfault bug. If anybody is using wayland as their primary UI, I'd like to hear about it.
