Hi I have seen that in maverick this line in the /usr/bin/startlubuntu

#Workaround to disable rgba, because lxpanel in Lubuntu doesn't support it
#(see bug #589763)

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

This create a lot of problem in all the applcation that use the alpha channel,
such as my program called Ardesia.
In the Ardesia issue  http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/issues/detail?id=20; 
you can found that running also a little demo
that the alpha channel is disabled http://plan99.net/~mike/files/alphademo.c

The counter example is that removing the XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS line Ardesia
works correctly

I want underlie that there are a lot of applications that use the RGBA colormap 
and
that could be possible set an rgb colormap in the lxpanel and could be the same 
effect
that this workouraoud without compromise the work of the other applications.

I hope that you can purge this "workaround".
