If weston-desktop-shell dies soon after launch, or maybe cannot be executed at all, let weston exit rather than letting the user stare at a black screen. But, do not exit weston, if weston-desktop-shell dies later, as the user may already have apps open, and those apps would likely still function correctly. This gives the user the opportunity to save his work and close the apps properly. This should make one class of "I see only black screen" failures obvious.

Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for building weston and its dependencies. The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.
