Hi Jan,

Thanks for your comments. I regard you as the Wayland-in-general expert, and 
I'll be the first to admit that the purpose of this particular script is to 
get KDE Plasma Wayland running *at all*. It's a hammer. Or a nail, depending 
on which way you want to see the metaphor.

Now that I've got it running (at all) I can also prod upstream some more, and 
compare application behavior in sway and in KDE Plasma Wayland.

Imma gone admit using neither of them, but it's a good point that in good time 
we'll want a decent experience for everyone. In good time we'll want to be 
able to launch a Wayland session from a display manager, too :S

It seems -- from brief testing starting applications from a konsole where I've 
unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM -- that things work **better** with this unset, so 
expect iterations on this script when there's a few more users and we start 
getting things fixed upstream.
