"Any process (task) on the system which forks itself creates a child 
process (task). The child task automatically becomes members of all of 
the cgroups its parent is members of. The child task can then be moved 
to different cgroups as needed, but initially, it always inherits the 
cgroups (the "environment" in process terminology) of its parent task.

 From that point forward, the parent and child tasks are completely 
independent of each other: changing the cgroups that one task belongs to 
does not affect the other. Neither will changing cgroups of a parent 
task affect any of its grandchildren in any way. To summarize: any child 
task always initially inherit memberships to the exact same cgroups as 
their parent task, but those memberships can be changed or removed later."

Sounds like this is just a matter of screen being updated to be 
cgroup-aware.
