[Bug 1501346] Re: Gimp fails to start w/ Xmir running in '-rootless -flatten' mode under Unity 8

 

Confirmed (on wily too). Flatten mode is broken, but more weird is that
this bug only occurs in Unity8 (not in the Mir demo servers)...

As a workaround, you can use:   gimp --no-splash
And then for the best experience go:  Windows > Single-Window Mode
