Might be helpful to describe what the differences are, this may indicate mis-use of Wayland and there is some method to make a program work on both versions.

I haven't tried this yet in my Ubuntu VM, but on my Linux Mint the
answers are unfortunately "yes" and "no". Here's an excerpt of maybe
related environment vars:
I executed 'env' in a "terminal" session provided by my weston instance
on the Linux desktop, the output is filtered.
You can see that WAYLAND_DISPLAY is defined. This is the only related
variable that is different than in a normal X session, but that doesn't
help, unfortunately.
