First impression on 14.10

[Daniel van Vugt]

Joseph,

There is another way to gather information from a spinning process less 
destructively. Attach gdb to it (from a remote login, 2nd machine 
required) and get a backtrace ("bt") that way. I have a script I can 
provide you to do that if you open a bug.

As for the keystrokes, I think there's already a bug for that:
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/xmir/+bug/1295851

Also, I just noticed you say "14.04". Mir on 14.04 is effectively 
unsupported and now very out of date. As it's under heavy development we 
can only fix Mir issues on the development release (14.10).
