A minimal Mir based confined shell for testing support for such things
The current iteration is based on Miriway, swaybg and wofi.
To activate the wofi launcher press Meta+a. This will show snaps publishing a
.desktop file, but only Wayland based snaps will run successfully.
To exit the shell press Ctrl-Alt-BkSp (long press if apps are running)
For the greeter (e.g. GDM) to recognise the confined-shell session run:
