I've added a workaround to Xmir to deal with this bug...
    https://git.launchpad.net/~xmir-team/xorg-server/+git/xmir/commit/?id=959d9ea4560d731840fd19a2c8a1cb39ad04ec9c

Not sure if we'll keep that though, because the simpler workaround is also nicer:
    gimp --no-splash

Longer term the right answer is still to fix this bug in Unity8 itself,
as well as bug 1497085.
