When you run multiple copies of xorg, each one runs in a different =20 console. I wouldn't be surprised if wayland simply isn't set up to do =20 that. >=20 > I attach the wayland log I got in case it gives anybody any other =20 > clues as to what's going on. The attached log includes the above kwin error. Can you post one where =20 there isn't another wayland session running? I'd also confirm that =20 directory does go away when no X or wayland is running. You might need =20 to manually delete it. Jack
