This is an issue for me too. The use case is media-hub on desktop. We render into a framebuffer object and pass the textures to other process (mediaplayer-app usually) that renders them in a window. We obviously do not want a window shown by media-hub-server, but we need to connect to mir to access the GPU and render into the fbo.
