Some variation of this will probably go in upstream at some point, see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5275 . However, note that
e.g. compiz still relies on window moves generating damage (Set it up to
make moving windows translucent to see the problem). Can be fixed with a
one-liner in the move plugin though.

Breaks X semantics and thus can't go in upstream. Apps/toolkits need to
be fixed not to use background none windows.

Breaks GLX semantics and should no longer be necessary now that the GLX
compositing managers default to using the Composite Overlay Window.

Last time I looked at this, it was a gross hack to work around XAA
deficiencies in offscreen pixmap handling, which makes the server die
immediately when trying to use GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with EXA, due
to calling XAA functions without checking it's active or even loaded.

If Xvfb doesn't work with the Composite extension, it should just be
disabled at build time?
