screenshot of vnc session

When using Xfwm4 with VNC, the decorations are not drawn. Xfwm4 has
seemingly not crashed, and the space for the window titlebar is
reserved. A screenshot is attached.

Xfwm4 version 4.14.1, tightvncserver 1.3.10

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

Does `xfwm4 --replace --compositor=off` work?

FWIW it works just fine on tigervnc on Fedora 32.

It also doesn't work with the above command. I'll give Fedora 32 a go to
see if that helps the situation for me.

tigervnc, rather.

FWIW, I tried with 24 and 16 bpp, with and without the composite
extension enabled and it worked fine in all cases.

You may also check (or post) the output of `xdpyinfo` on that server.

Actually, the problem is the lack of XRender support in the
tightvncserver Xserver.

xfwm4 is capable of running without XRender, but for some reason the
mask of the pixmap end up being empty and therefore the pixmaps are all
transparent.

Disabling XRender *and* XShape would work. But most gtk apps are not
rendering well either in that setup so I am not sure that would take us
very far.

I believe this is a bug in gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels() which does not work
without Render.

Not a bug in xfwm4.

That looks like it's probably it. :-) I'll test it out today.
