Comment 13 for bug 192882

For these kinds of workarounds, I'd suggest a shell wrapper instead of changing the code.

The "visuals" code in xaos dates from a time when transparency was not thought of yet. It would be good if someone knowledgeable could go through it. See xalloc_display() in src/ui/ui-drv/x11/xlib.c. Is there an easy and good way to avoid transparency?

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS basically disables 32 bit depth visuals, so the equivalent workaround in xaos would be to not even try to match on those:
