    don't crash when cairo-dock is running. LP: #416294
    
    Explanation from Rémi Denis-Courmont
    
    For whatever reason, when Cairo-Dock is started Qt4-X11 starts using the
    ARGB X11 visual, instead of normal RGB. I don't know why, but I assume
    it's the intended behaviour. Indeed, all Qt4 widgets work fine that way.
    
    VLC breaks because it tries to use a VLC Qt4 plugin video widget
    directly through X11 (instead of libQt4). There, VLC (1.0 and older)
    makes an incorrect assumption. It expects that the X11 visual of the Qt4
    widget is the same as the visual of the root X11 window. That causes an
    unexpected error in the X11 protocol. Then, Xlib calls the default error
    handler, which aborts the VLC process.
    
    Correct mt if I'm wrong. But I believe that the Qt4 API does not provide
    a way to request a RGB visual instead of ARGB explicitly. So the any
    application using QWidget::winId has to be ready to handle ARGB
    visuals. VLC clearly fails here. From the wiki, I infer that Skype has
    the same bug. For non-Qt4 apps like mplayer, I guess it's a similar
    problem, though the choice or ARGB is not coming from Qt4-X11.
    
    On the other hand, with an ARGB visual, I am afraid there is no way to
    use XVideo anymore. At least neither of my XVideo adaptors list the ARGB
    visual as supported. This means, even if the bug is fixed or worked
    around in VLC, we cannot use the video overlay anymore, so rendering
    will be a lot more CPU-demanding.
    
    So in a sense, the proper solution would be for Qt4 to provide a way to
    disable ARGB for some specific widgets. But to me, this would look more
    like a new feature than a bug from libQt4.
