[Sugar-devel] Sugar build break

[Daniel Narvaez]

Unless a proper X nesting solution appears, I think we should probably just
always run a full X server. I see that a window might be more convenient
for some people, but there is just no good solution for that at the moment.

(Full X server from inside X is also complicated with systemd, but it seems
like it should be possible using the same approach weston-launch is using).
