(optionally, the user could also move this to "clone" mode, as he already can). As David Hermann just assured me on IRC me something like this is not too hard to make work for both Wayland and X11 actually. Now with that in mind, gnome-shell/mutter/wayland would be started when the first user session is created, and would stay around until it sees that the last session is gone. If we instead ran it as part of a specific user session then it would go away as soon as that one session died, which is less desirable...
