On one hand asking the shell to own screenshotting is nice and secure.

On the other hand, persisting with an architecture where apps don't work
unless processes other than the shell happen to be running is a bit
nasty in my opinion. And similarly anything that depends on a bus is
ugly IMHO. I've lost count of the number of times in recent months where
GTK apps refused to start because they were timing out waiting for some
process or bus to become available that didn't exist in Mir.

When you develop an app for a platform, like for Mir using just
libmirclient, there should ideally be zero other dependencies on the
system. Everything should be implemented or proxied through that one
library.
