Public bug reported:

I'm trying to run gedit in a Vivid + overlay PPA 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.
