From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paala...@collabora.co.uk>
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.
