chrome, chromium and electron apps unusable with Xmir (the context blinks a lot or is black)

[dinamic]

run chrome, chromium or electron app like atom, gravit designer, etc
if you get just a black window try to resize the window, you'll see the context blinking

gravit designer with Xmir -rootless (you can download the app from here http://designer.io/)
mostly the app works except for the blinking

the better fix will probably be to have chromium run native on mir? (basically not using Xmir)

Thanks, yeah I know. Duplicate of bug 1510025.

And yes native Chromium support would be better. Previously racarr had implemented that but it probably bit-rotted. More recently hikiko has been talking about doing it as a fun project but I don't know what the status is.
