Reworded and confirmed. Although if there ever were any crashes related to this bounce, they have probably been fixed now.
The only remaining annoying part about this bug I can see is if you use non-rootless mode; resize the root window and then lose your last X client. The Mir connection+window gets recreated fullscreen again, instead of the size you made it. That all said, just keeping non-zero X clients running is a sufficient workaround. The bug is not a problem at all in -rootless mode because you never see the root window when it does go away and return. For non- rootless if you're running a desktop (e.g. nautilus) and/or any window manager, any of those are enough to keep the connection alive. So I don't see any major problem here that anyone will see in reality. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- 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/1481330 Title: Xmir disconnects and reconnects to Mir when the X client count reaches zero Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Xmir reconnects to Mir when the final client drops its connection to Xmir, either through XCloseDisplay, or by normal program termination.
