Hello all
I am searching a way to run qt GUI executables NATIVELY under Mir because the terminal does not have permissions to acces Mir and it seem that Qt Widgets executables requires LibX11
Can someone help me?

For Unity8 the command is:
    ubuntu-app-launch qterminal

For other native Mir shells the command is:
    sudo apt install mir-utils
    # Assuming you know where the Mir socket is:
    env MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket mirrun qterminal

I think we could do better in future and should just be able to run 'qterminal'...
