Bug Description

[regression] XMir frame skip/ordering glitches.

On trusty, install package "ubuntu-desktop-mir" and reboot. Now your X server is running inside Mir. But dragging windows around seem to skip and stutter and tear.

I started with two monitors when the problem first appeared. Now turning off one of them the problem remains.

I just noticed the trusty version of Mir is missing the fix for bug 1288570. And I remember in testing bug 1288570 that could cause the same kind of skips. This might be bug 1288570. I'll have to import the fix and try it on trusty XMir.
