Native GTK apps in Mir

[Daniel van Vugt]

OK, a full example is:

sudo apt-get install mir-demos
sudo mir_demo_server_shell --vt 1
sudo env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket 
/usr/games/gnome-mahjongg
# Ctrl+Alt+F1

It was working all weekend and up to yesterday. But for some reason 
today all GTK apps are now crashing (SIGSEGV) for me. So I'll have to 
look into what has changed.
