pipe status info into -s command
Unlike with X window managers, the display socket in Wayland isn't set
up prior to starting the compositor. Because of this, you can't pipe
the compositor's output directly into a program which needs access to
$WAYLAND_DISPLAY, which is a typical setup for this purpose. Existing
scripts have been forced to create a pipe/FIFO or a temporary file as an
intermediary.
Instead, send the status info directly to stdin of the -s command, which
*does* have access to $WAYLAND_DISPLAY.
Fixes #103.
