Is the problem that the destination picture is created with the wrong
format? To create a Picture around the root window, the WM probably
wants to use PICT_a2r10g10b10 when it's depth 30 instead.
Are you trying to fix the same bug that I reported a while back?

I believe Damien Leone (CCed) came up with a patch for GTK that should
fix the issue you're seeing? He attached it to a bug you filed back in July:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625202
Have you tried applying that to see if it fixes the non-WM related
issues you're seeing?
Thanks,
