On desktop there's a solid example of reparenting -- plugin windows in a
browser. Those subwindows (like Flash) are rendered by an external
process. Although supporting Flash going forward is probably not
important at all. And we need the browsers themselves to support Mir
first.
Some kind of
Adding a signon task since it will need to be adjusted to use this Mir

Adding an apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu task since because of this bug, the
accounts policy group is reserved and not available to untrusted
appstore apps. When mir and online accounts are fixed, we can move the
accounts policy group back to 'common'.

It's true Mir does not implement parenting of any sort. I think this
was intentional.
The use case of modal dialogs is a good case for parenting, but if that
remains the only use case I think we should pause to consider if there
are any better alternatives. Parenting is otherwise not required in
strong desire, but not required for phone v1

Hi Gerry, your suggested solution wouldn't work for us: we need to decouple the
process child-parent relationship from the windows' one. We pop up windows from

Thoughts:
1. Mir has no concept of window parent/child relationships, for now it
just has a list of windows per application. This needs to be added, as
shell will need that information.
2. Do we want any application to be able to reparent its window to
another applications window? Probably not,
