For some reason I can't get my mouse to work in Weston and it seems like
that's the only way to start a terminal... But sounds like that wouldn't
be any good anyway since it's different from that use-case. Apart from
building gnome-shell, which I recall has a large number of dependencies,
are you aware of another use-case that would allow testing the code
paths with no modifiers?

Sounds like perhaps that would be interesting to add to Weston as a knob
to test these somewhat legacy paths.
