Bug description:
(I'm filing this as a bug in order to be able to point other people to
it, and to track its progress; if there's a blueprint containing this
task, please let me know)
Some components (such as the Online Accounts trusted helper) need to
be able to pop-up a window (typically, a dialog) on top of the running
application. Such windows should be modal to the application, that is
the user should not be able to interact with the application while the
modal window is displayed on top of them. This also means that in the
task switcher one shouldn't see two windows, but only the topmost
modal window (and parts of the application window, in case the modal
window on top is a non-fullscreen dialog).
For developers, this API already exists in Qt: see
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtgui/qwindow.html#fromWinId
It needs to be implemented in the QPA plugin, so feel free to add the
relevant projects to the bug report.

This is a hard requirement for application confinement because of our trust
model-- permission to access sensitive data by AppStore apps is typically
granted or denied at the time of access (caching the result for later use as
appropriate), so users have a context for the access being requested. We do
this instead of throwing up a permissions prompt at installation. However, for
it to work, trusted helpers like online accounts and location require this
functionality from unity-mir. A trust-store is also being implemented so other
services like calendar and contacts can do the same. Because this feature is
not implemented, the implementation for online accounts, location and the
trust-store is blocked and appstore apps are therefore able to access these
services without the user knowing.
