OK I think I've figured out the issue here.  I had set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 
to a tmp dir in my home which is part of a ZFS filesystem:
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$HOME/tmp"

After changing this to "/tmp/", which is a tmpfs mount, i am now able to 
launch xterm/firefox again.

looking at the debug output of sway i can confirm sway itself is using 
hardware acceleration, but xwayland is still using llvm-pipe. i will 
re-test xwayland trying to get it to use hardware accel as well, i think 
my first step will be using the updated mesa-dri code then working 
forward from there.


cheers,
