Either disable the composite extension in your xorg.conf, or set the
env var XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS to 1 before running Terminal.

I have a wrapper script for Terminal that sets the var, and then a line
in my ~/.bash_profile to unset it so apps launched from Terminal aren't
ARGB-window-deprived ^_~.

If you're not using xfwm4's compositor, then it's probably easier to
just disable composite entirely.
