[Michał Sawicz]

Nope, shared Xmir not a solution, we need each client to connect in a
separate session, to securely identify it. And there's security
considerations for that as well.

Not to mention gtk, for example, just probes available display servers
and uses the first one that works, which could very well result in them
running under X, when they should run natively.

If we could get a fix for bug 1577641 then this would be easy to solve
(in the most efficient way): Just start an 'Xmir -rootless ...' at
login.

That way you don't need custom launcher magic for every X app to start
an X server.
