Xmir from overlay PPA no longer tells client about resize events in non-rootless

[Christopher Townsend]

Using Xmir from the Stable Overlay PPA in non-rootless mode, when I resize an Xmir window in Unity 8, the resize event is not passed to the client, which is Compiz in this case.

I have Compiz set up to use the Place plugin and maximize the window, so when the resize event occurs, Compiz will resize the window. This worked before with the previous version of Xmir.

Non-rootless and the need for compiz is dead. But I'll fix this up still :)

Restored the old root window resizing hack:

Still not recommended as -rootless works better. Or try -rootless -flatten.

Note: I'm still working on improving this. Window resizing for the non-rootless case is still quite unstable and glitchy (because it changes the whole screen size and not just a window). I recommend using -rootless if you can which is both stable and fast at resizing. However I will continue to try and solve the resizing problems with non-rootless...
