Just to clarify what shell wants:
- shell launches an application and takes note of the app's PID. Shell considers app to be in "starting" state.
- when application connects to Mir, want shell to be notified that a client with PID x has connected. Shell then checks if that PID matches any it has launched, and if yes considers that app to be in "running" state

So shell just needs to know the PID of each new clients connecting to Mir.

Right now I don't see why shell would want to reject a client's connection. Have we use-cases for that? I don't think that PID and desktop-file is enough information for it to make such a decision anyway.
