Well, apparently it was me who was confused: it seems that if visual supports alpha channel we actually are compositing, even if it does not happen on screen/wm level. But if so, we should not check that screen is composited in systray_plugin_box_draw, so I removed that check; when this check was present, icons were not drawn at all.

I'm attaching the patch with these two simple changes. Applying it to xfce4-panel 4.14.0 fixed the issue on my machine.
