As far as I can tell "-rootless" mode actually is not implemented yet. I can't make it crash but I can see that it mistakenly maps each X Window (some of which could be menus or even individual widgets like in xedit) to separate Mir surfaces. If we're going to continue on this path then Mir needs full sub-surface (child/embedded surfaces) placement support.

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.
