I still see this issue when launching gedit from a Unity 8 desktop
session.

I'm not really sure what the correct solution is, but as a workaround, I
can open the X display in the libertine-launch program before launching
any other application and then close it after the application exits.
This will at least hold a resource open and not kill the Xmir window.

** Summary changed:

- Xmir crashes when client closes display
+ Xmir closes when client closes display

Title:
  Xmir closes when client closes display

Status in Mir:
  Incomplete
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Xmir crashes when a client loses its connection to Xmir, either
  through XCloseDisplay, or by normal program termination. This affects
  xprop and GTK applications (they temporarily open a connection to the
  X server to obtain the value of the AT_SPI_BUS property on the root
  window).

  This is what is printed in application's upstart log:

  (EE)
  Fatal server error:
