Application Confinement (Display Manager)
Begin implementation strategy for mediating display manager rights with AppArmor. While it is understood that different display managers/servers will require updates and/or design for AppArmor integration, the AppArmor kernel and userspace portions should be display manager-agnostic. Session not required-- work being carried over from previous sprints.
