Bug Description

I installed unity8-desktop-session-x11 and unity8-desktop-session-mir, both options appear in the lightdm desktops dropdown. The Mir option does not appear to do anything, just hangs the lightdm screen. The x11 option boots to something with a phone shaped region in the top left that jiggles about a bit when clicked but appears otherwise non-functional. Should it do more than this?
