I think we made the critical mistake of designing a solution in the bug description. All we should do is ensure the permissions are restricted on the server socket file. So other users/daemons can't display things.

If however a "malicious program" is running as yourself, then you're already compromised, and already screwed.

I just want to make sure the desktop user still has permission to run a native Mir client on their own desktop. That's really important for us to triage bugs, and has been so far.
