Comment 3 for bug 1674477

I don't know if that would be the easiest approach. It sounds to me like having U8 implement that dbus interface would be the easiest and least invasive solution, but then again, I'm not the one volunteering for that :)

Is there some mir client api for scraping the screen? I'm worried about whether or not that kind of change would be accepted upstream (there's no wayland-specific code in gnome-screenshot). Also, how does it look from a security perspective? The nice thing about that interface is that the screenshot app never has direct access to the pixel data in the first place (it's just file names that U8 would save the image data directly to), and access to the interface could be restricted via apparmor dbus rules.
