Every large toolkit already has it's own preferred config storage and
API to access that. Putting a redundant implementation in Mir is not
helpful. You would either end up with the old problem of many different
config file formats in unrelated places accessed using unrelated APIs,
or a redundant
Do we want Mir to have an ecosystem of configuration tools around it?
Because this won't happen if every shell has to implement their own
configuration save/restore/change system.

Under unity7/xorg it's possible to configure the position of the
@Kevin, what are priviledge clients? I think it would make sense for
unity8 to be the one handling screen configuration changes (e.g applying
the config at start, changing it in reaction to hotkeys, etc)

I think we can (and should) draw a line between display server libraries
and permanent config. It doesn't exist in Mir right now so we'd have to
have a very good reason to add it.
Instead, Mir does provide structures to fully describe the display
config. These structures are read and written to
Mir does support changing the display configuration, yes. But does Mir
support saving the last display configuration to disk somehow, so it is
re-applied after reboot, if possible? I didn't think so anyway.
I'm also thinking that not every application should be able to customize
the display
