Nope, the trusted session approach is different in that it will be not
available to ordinary clients. We do not allow the client to be able
to interfere with the stacking order and instead enable a trusted
helper to:

  (1.) Create a trusted session and add participating apps and surfaces to it.
  (2.) Start the trusted session. At that point, Mir & Unity8 take
over and carry out a well-defined set of operations, including
on-screen transitions.
  (3.) Be notified when the trusted session ends.

All of this is entirely transparent to an application and there is no
need to expose this to the toolkit at this point.

HTH,
