I'm still curious about adoption of Wayland/Weston by people reading 
here.  Does anyone use Weston routinely?  Start Weston, try one or a 
few applications briefly and return to X?

Well yes.  Did my duty this week with a report against udev. Next week 
I might report the problem with X.  While Weston remains so slow, it 
will be a very low priority.

Incidentally, a little progress with X.  In my usage, X begins with 
multiple desktops.  Default behaviour here; I didn't choose it.  A 
spontaneous switch to an empty desktop leaves a display which is 
completely black for OpenBox; mostly black when a desktop environment 
is present.  In the desktop environment the toolbar has an icon 
allowing reversion to the working desktop.  Annoying but not critical.

In OpenBox the black screen was puzzling until I noticed that MM gives 
a desktop switch menu. Reverting to the working desktop is simple 
enough.  =8~)  (MM = middle mouse)

Multiple desktops is a cute embellishment  =8~|  but the installation 
default should be a single desktop.  Let the user add desktops 
according to taste.

Regards,                             ... P.
