Bug Description

I want to do that:
$ gdb fooMirServer

Then it runs as "Mir-on-X"

When it crashes, I want to be able to access my gdb terminal. But currently I can't since "Mir-on-X" has grabbed my mouse and kbd and is holding on to it. The only way out is switching to a VT and killing it from there.

A common problem I get is if Mir-on-X crashes/hangs, X still considers the keyboard & mouse grabbed, so I'm unable to control my desktop any more.

It also makes running gdb a "Mir-on-X" server a real pain. I can only debug it by either switching to a tty or logging though ssh from another PC.
