Bug Description
Here's the global bug for FD passing from unity-system-
The general flow would be:
*) LightDM gets a client socket from USC
*) LightDM sends that fd to logind as a part of the session description (instead of X server number)
*) unity8 pulls the fd from logind on startup
This then needs an apparmour profile so that dbus denies access to the system-compositor fd from everything that's not unity.
