Generally speaking fixing bug 1674749 (now bug 1671424) should be enough
for most apps in the short term.

WM_QUIT:
I’m not sure how a fix for bug #1674749 would address the use case in
the description: a multi-window application (such as web browser) wants
to distinguish between:
- please close all windows one by one without retaining state for them
- please quit the app, and save the state for all windows
Maybe a fix for bug 1674749 is what you want.

apps are meant to act on (e.g. pop up a dialog if not terminate
themselves).
If you mean logout however, then I guess the right answer is that shells
should send
Does Mir provide enough api to allow application ask user a question
before shutdown? In Unity7, typically that is requesting focus and
popping up a dialog - should be ok, but good to think about it.
