Title:
  Gedit & xchat fail to start w/ Xmir running in '-rootless -flatten'
  mode under Unity 8

Bug description:
  I'm trying to run gedit in a Vivid + overlay PPA Unity 8 desktop
  session using Xmir from the overlay PPA using the '-rootless -flatten'
  Xmir options.  Gedit fails to start in this situation.  If I use
  Compiz as the WM, then gedit starts.

  I've attached the application and unity8 log files.  This may be a
  Unity 8 issue as well since it is rejected the connection in this
  scenario.

  The same issue occurs when trying to run xchat as well.
