*How to generate a framework/service version of unity-system-compositor:*

bzr branch lp:~mir-team/mir/snappy-packaging
cd snappy-packaging
make

You'll now have a snap in your current directory.

Once installed, you may control the service with the service name
mir_system-compositor_0.

This snap installs a wrapper for consumers to easily connect Mir apps to
the current running compositor, to be used like:
/apps/mir/current/bin/mir-run [program] [arguments]

*How to generate an example xfreerdp program using the above service:*

bzr branch lp:~mterry/+junk/snappy-preload
cd snappy-preload
make
cd tools
./make-snap -d 15.04/beta-2 --aa-profile
/usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/templates/ubuntu-snappy/1.3/unconfined --xmir
xfreerdp

Now you can install this and use it like so:
sudo /apps/bin/xfreerdp.rdp /u:user /p:password /v:server

It unfortunately still needs to be run as root (for xorg input to work).

*Next steps:*

Get the permissions sorted out, to see how to stop running these unconfined
/ as root.  But everything seems functional!
