Bug Description
I'm trying to run gedit in a Vivid + overlay PPA Unity 8 desktop session using Xmir from the overlay PPA using the '-rootless -flatten' Xmir options. Gedit fails to start in this situation. If I use Compiz as the WM, then gedit starts.
I've attached the application and unity8 log files. This may be a Unity 8 issue as well since it is rejected the connection in this scenario.
The same issue occurs when trying to run xchat as well.
