Because of bug #416294, VLC had to disable ARGB X11 visuals in Xlib. In my opinion, a ugly but nevertheless cosmetic issue in the tray icon is much less severe than the inability to play any video. Hence we will not re-enable ARGB visuals.
As a consequence, we cannot fix this bug. We would need a proper Qt4-x11 fix for #416294 (see http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5464) first, which is not forthcoming.
