[SOLVED] XFCE4 Glitching: weird pixelated colors

So recently some elements like xfce4-panel and desktop notifications started to glitch: https://i.imgur.com/UI0bmtI.png

As you can see Firefox, urxvt and i3blocks works fine. But i do get weird borders around every i3 window.

Output from ~/.xsession-errors

[libi3] ERROR: Could not parse color: white
[libi3] ERROR: Could not parse color: red
xfce4-panel: Failed to connect to session manager: Failed to connect to the sessable not defined
xfce4-panel: No window manager registered on screen 0. To start the panel withou

(wrapper-2.0:25646): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:41:42.546: Negative content width -1 (alget (node button, owner GtkToggleButton)
xfsettingsd: No window manager registered on screen 0.
User input is: Firefox 
/bin/zsh -c '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox '

Does anyone have any idea where the problem might be? Any more logs i should upload?

Possibly related to the new RGB handling in mesa. See, e.g.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236102
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236058

I've not noticed any other xfce4 users reporting this though.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE4 Glitching: weird pixelated colors

Thanks for the tip WorMzy!

Problem solved by adding

<application name="compton" executable="compton">
    <option name="allow_rgb10_configs" value="false"/>
</application>

to /etc/drirc
