Cinnamon starts Xorg or Xwayland.

Is it possible to add or change the options that are passed to Xwayland?

I need to add the option +byteswappedclients to the Xwayland command line to instruct wayland to accept connections from external servers that are not the same endiness. I can only do this now, as far as I can tell, by creating a dummy Xwayland shell script that then calls the binary with the added option.

Gnome shell (mutter) has ... gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-allow-byte-swapped-clients true
Is there an equivalent with cinnamon?
