Xmir (through no choice of its own) is told to destroy all resources (destroy xmir_screen) when the last client disconnects. We could make Xmir leak its resources (including the connection to the Mir server)... that would also solve some annoying flickering but I'm not sure it's the right answer.

This affects xprop and GTK applications (they temporarily open a connection to the X server to obtain the value of the AT_SPI_BUS property on the root window).
