Your reasons for why Session is a bad name would help the discussion.

I've always thought that since Mir is a server, why not refer to clients
as "Client" - I interpret Application as a client that creates a window
for a user to interact with - but configuration tools & snapshotting
tools may not create a window (i.e. for scripting)
