The README file is in the archlinux rootfs version here
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=40
Jolla tablet does not use arm. Most specs are here.
http://www.gsmarena.com/jolla_tablet-6816.php
It is x86_64 i486
Similar to what you say everything looks fine until I get to the kwin_wayland command. No window appears.
I will play some more but suggestions are welcome!

Booooo! I had just finished making a custom rootfs to share with everyone. I was just waiting until later this evening when I'd have a reasonably fast connection in order to upload it. I was hoping to release it along with some management scripts this evening.
Oh well, I guess I'll just use Arch instead. I wasn't really taking advantage of Manjaroishness anyway. For this use, Arch should be mostly indistinguishable. It will take a day or two for me to migrate, and then I'll share a preconfigured Arch rootfs instead.
I've also been working on some Sailfish GUI utilities for installation, configuration, and 1-click launch of chroot with xfce desktop as nemo user. I'm new to QT Quick, so this may take a little while, but it's coming along nicely.

I don't really know anything about the jolla tablet. What version of SFOS are you running? If you have 64 bit kernel, you might want to try amd64 rootfs.

I might have a chance later today. Any suggestions on where to share the file? I'd prefer not to use Mega, or something like that, because it would be nice to be able to download it with curl in an install script.

Good luck!

You can find some helper scripts here:
https://github.com/Preflex/easy-chroot
ManChroot.sh will give you a root shell inside the chroot.
DeskChroot.sh will launch a XFCE4 session.
You may notice errors about mount points in /home/nemo not being found. If you would like to share these directories with the chroot, create those directories inside the chroot.
You can find the preconfigured Manjaro rootfs here: https://github.com/Preflex/easy-chroot/releases
To use with the helper scripts, unpack it in /opt/easychroot/Manjaro
This rootfs contains helper scripts in /usr/share/easychroot/scripts/
The start_xwayland.sh contains hardcoded values for my Nexus 4's screen. If you are using a different device, you will need to edit the last line of this script, substituting the height and width values for your device.
