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

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. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed
