Public bug reported:

When searching through the list of pids to detect if they are in the
cgroup we care about, u-a-l currently only gets the top pid due to
calling GetTasks.  Instead, we should call GetTasksRecursive to get the
whole list.

This is needed when trying to start up X applications inside a container
using XMir.
