The latter disables the Composite extension, which isn't related to
AIGLX and disabled by default anyway (unless the Debian X server is
patched to change that, I'm losing track).

Yes, AFAICT from a web search it requests that the drawable contains an
alpha component, which is only supported with the Composite extension.
So maybe changing the second option above to enable the Composite
extension makes a difference? Note that blending such a drawable against
another drawable will not work correctly with hardware acceleration
currently though. Also note that GLUT_ALPHA is not necessary for alpha
blending while rendering to the drawable.
