But those barebones pure Mir+OpenGL are not very realistic examples of
shell implementations (apart from, maybe, some dumb kiosks or the like).
Any minimally complex shell will likely use a toolkit to help out with
animations etc. And they most likely have their own scene
implementation, like Qt/QML.
