xwayland server dies if clients try to spawn when DRM is suspended

[Timidger]

To reproduce:

1. Spawn an X11 app with a delay (e.g sleep 5 && konsole)
2. Switch to a TTY and wait until the timer elapses
3. Switch back and notice that all xwayland apps are gone (Wayland apps such as weston-terminal are unaffected)
4. Can no longer spawn X11 apps

Relevant part from logs:

We should also probably restart Xwayland when it dies. Will file a separate ticket.

What happens is that xwayland seems to crash when DRM is paused. We do restart it:

2017-12-28 11:32:22 - [xwayland/xwayland.c:179] Restarting Xwayland

But it dies again.

On GNOME, doing this crashes the whole compositor.

I actually can't reproduce on my branch (#541, now merged), did that get fixed for you as well somehow?

I tried spawning some urxvt first then a gnome-terminal in which I did sleep 5; urxvt, then switched, waited a bit, got back with two urxvts -- or directly gnome-terminal from rootston without any Xwayland app running.

Could this be app dependant? I don't have konsole installed here to check... I'll install it if you still reproduce it on master.

[emersion]

I can still reproduce with sleep 5; chromium.

[martinetd]

Thanks, could reproduce with firefox. Looking into what's different and if we can just make the crashy part wait till the focus is back.

gnome-terminal wouldn't cause it because, AFAIK, it's a wayland app now (just tested using xeyes on my local machine)
