moses@jolyne:~/Videos$ totem vapourwave.mp4

... nothing else while the video is playing.  After quitting totem I see
this:

launched xfwm4-tweaks-settings, to Compositor tab, unchecked the box [ ]
Enable display compositing.  Tried totem again, and no washed-out
transparency.  Workaround confirmed.

Why this happens with totem and not mplayer, vlc, parole, mpv, or
OpenShot, that's a head-scratcher.  Especially mpv, since mpv & totem
are linked to almost all the same libraries (mpv also uses libz.so.1 and
linux-vdso.so.1)
