The WM fails to adapt to non-default visuals (32-bit ARGB visual in the case). #581

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get Xmonad
2. Get Termite (V9 or higher) from Github/your repositories
   Github: https://github.com/thestinger/termite
   (To build it, also make sure to check out the utils directory)
3. Get Compton (any release should do)
4. run Xmonad, default config is fine. To get a better idea of the bug, a 
bigger window border might be useful.
5. run Compton (with -e to make sure window borders are drawn solid): compton 
--config /dev/null -e 1.0
6. run termite

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: you get a termite window and a solid window frame.
You get: A non-solid, semi-transparent window frame

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using Xmonad, compton and termite on Arch Linux, from their repos.

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

Nope, nothing special needed here.

Please provide any additional information below.

I already reported the bug to compton/termite. They blame Xmonad to be unable 
to handle non-default visuals. The same bug was found in dwm, a fix is already 
done.
