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 the display server. If
you wanted to save a preferred config to disk then it's a simple matter
of converting that structure to some nice format and back again.
Although I suggest that is not Mir's job.
Similarly, everything else you can configure in Mir has the same problem of how
to store preferences permanently. I think the right answer is to push permanent
storage up to the shell so that the shell can:
(a) Provide a nice GUI to change things; and
(b) Use it's own preferred API. Large toolkits usually provide their own:
Qt: QSettings
GTK: gconf/GSettings
