[Bug 1497085] [NEW] Unity8 crashes when Xmir -rootless opens a second window (like a menu)

 

Public bug reported:

Unity8 crashes when Xmir -rootless opens a second window (like a menu).

I've put some effort into fixing up Xmir's -rootless mode this past week
and it works pretty well in Mir's demo servers. However it's held back
by Unity8 (mobile and desktop modes). Unity8 just crashes the moment
Xmir opens a second window (like a menu even).

I understand this arguably not being a supported feature on mobile but
on desktop it's pretty important.
