I've added a workaround to Xmir to deal with this bug... https://git.launchpad.net/~xmir-team/xorg-server/+git/xmir/commit/?id=959d9ea4560d731840fd19a2c8a1cb39ad04ec9c
Not sure if we'll keep that though, because the simpler workaround is also nicer: gimp --no-splash Longer term the right answer is still to fix this bug in Unity8 itself, as well as bug 1497085. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501346 Title: Gimp fails to start w/ Xmir running in '-rootless -flatten' mode under Unity 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtmir/+bug/1501346/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
