I did some investigating on Ted's u-a-l branch that starts Xmir (https://code.launchpad.net/~ted/ubuntu-app-launch/xmir-support) and removed the '-rootless' option to Xmir and now it works.
I guess it's easy enough to remove "-rootless" from the MP, but I wouldn't think Xmir should be crashing with that set either... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472097 Title: Failed assertion in compCopyWindow Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ted has run into problems trying to integrate XMir with Unity8. When he starts an app, XMir aborts in compCopyWindow. (Log attached) This seems to be because compCopyWindow has been called before compConfigNotify (which in turn call compReallocPixmap, and set cw->oldx to valid values). This might be an initialisation order problem in XMir.
