[Robert Ancell <robert.ancell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reproducable by running:
(on VT1)
$ sudo mir_demo_server
(on VT2)
$ sudo chown $USER.$USER /var/run/user/$PID/mir_socket
$ XMir :1 -rootless &
(switch to VT1 then back to VT2)
$ DISPLAY=:1 xeyes
(XMir crashes)

The rootless code is kind of hacky, so I'd definitely use non rootless
mode until it's better understood / fixed.

** Summary changed:

- Failed assertion in compCopyWindow
+ XMir crashes when running with -rootless

** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)

Title:
  XMir crashes when running with -rootless

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ted has run into problems trying to integrate XMir with Unity8. When
  he starts an app, XMir aborts in compCopyWindow. (Log attached)

  This seems to be because compCopyWindow has been called before
  compConfigNotify (which in turn call compReallocPixmap, and set
  cw->oldx to valid values). This might be an initialisation order
  problem in XMir.
