[Bug 1307709] Re: webbrowser-app does not start in Unity 8 preview session
I think the reason this doesn't work is that the Mir EGL backend doesn't
support pbuffer surfaces, and Chromium relies on this (although it
doesn't actually draw to them - it creates a 1x1 pbuffer surface in
order to bind the context)

Bug description:
The webbrowser app does not start when invoked from the Dash in Unity8
in the preview session.
Upon clicking the icon the screen quickly flickers and returns to the
Dash.
You can get some more information when running the terminal app. You
can make this app usable by uncommenting X-Ubuntu-StageHint=SideStage.
From the terminal, run: webbrowser-app
--desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/webbrowser-app.desktop
This takes me back to the Dash, return to the terminal to find:
libEGL warning: unsupported platform (null)
libEGL warning: unsupported platform (null)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I am attaching one of the crash dumps
