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.

Title:
gnome screenshot gtk-mir crashes on taking the shot under Mir

Bug description:
Tried this with (updated) Zesty plus ppa:attente/gtk-mir-staging
then export GDK_BACKEND=mir
launch from command line: gnome-screenshot --
--desktop_file_hint=org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop
Attempt to take a screen shot in any form and it will crash (see
attached log)
according to attente:
gnome-screenshot crashes is because it delegates the screenshotting to
org.gnome.Shell, and falls back to using x11 if that fails
so i think the solution is to have u8 implement that interface...
