I don't think a utilities socket is a useful solution. Mir apps need to discover their socket automatically. libmirclient does not know or care about the difference between an app and a utility. There is only one default Mir socket it can find automatically, and only one Mir socket for Unity8.
Secondly, the utility idea only solves it for utilities like mirout and media-hub. We also have the same problem with actual apps where 'Xmir -rootless' is running for some time before the app exists. It should not be given a window until the X app creates one. Fixing this bug may also be a prerequisite for bug 1668429 if we need 'Xmir -rootless' running in advance. I understand the original motivation for the splash screen, but we need to move out of it. Apps should launch faster so it's a non-issue. Or at least desktop mode should not show splash screens since slow launching is really more of a mobile problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577641 Title: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1577641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
