This option is so we can disable showing any panel at all. The default is to continue showing the panel and no example is added to weston.ini because it's an uncommon request. Tested-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk>

.B Weston

|
for its setup.
|
|
The
|
|
.I weston.ini
|
|
configuration file is searched for in one of the following places when the
|
