Seems to work fine for me (with minimal testing.) |

No crash, although I didn't run it very long. |

When you run multiple copies of xorg, each one runs in a different |
52 |
console. I wouldn't be surprised if wayland simply isn't set up to do |
53 |
that. |

The attached log includes the above kwin error. Can you post one where |
58 |
there isn't another wayland session running? I'd also confirm that |
59 |
directory does go away when no X or wayland is running. You might need |
60 |
to manually delete it. |
