Description william estrada 2017-01-07 21:00:58 UTC 
Running 2 X sessions, 2 WM, WM1 stops running spotify after I switch to WM2.

Occasionally I running two Window Managers on my laptop for testing. One for my laptop and the other for a Raspberry Pi. When I switch to the second WM, my spotify stops playing. If I return to WM1, spotify start playing again, right where it stopped. This is a sign that all WM1 processes stop.

We do block GLX clients on VT switch (which is arguably a bug), but not all clients.
