Suppose I have a wlc compositor with WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 and I am on another display. I want to open an application on wayland-0. So I do

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 gnome-calculator

I expect gnome-calculator to run on the wlc compositor on wayland-0, but nothing shows up.

This works great in Weston. This does not work in Orbment or Sway.

I need this feature for testing.

This issue is related to vt switching.

When I do

sleep 5; WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 gnome-calculator

with enough time to switch back to the display Sway is running on, it works correctly.

So when windows show up when the vt is not active, they do not get mapped.
