(Get the code!)
The trigger is the X server resetting - this occurs when the last X client disconnects. This causes the root window to be destroyed and re-created. Thus the Mir surface is destroyed and then (attempted to be) recreated.
This occurs when running XMir inside a Unity 8 session, other cases that were tested were:
- Running XMir inside mir_demo_server (works fine)
- Running Unity 8 directly inside mir_demo_server (works fine)
In the normal use case the X server doesn't reset until you have completed using it - the window manager is constantly connected so the reset does not occur. For this reason this bug is not critical but worth investigating when we have the time.
