Accidentally submitted bug report instead of saving attachment.

When an SDL 2 program is running, the taskbar loses its transparency and a black square appears in the place of the start button (see attachments). This does not happen with SDL 1 programs and can be reproduced by compiling windowtitle.cpp from https://github.com/crust/sdl2-examples with the 'g++ windowtitle.cpp -o windowtitle -lSDL2' command.

Additionally, this does not happen with Openbox with the Compton compositor running (the taskbar retains its transparency and no black squares appear).
