Title:
   Shadowing the vim-window results in vim-gtk3 crash

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With XFCE when I try to "shadow" the vim-gtk3 window (just to show only the title bar) it results in a vim crash and the window just disappears without any core dump neither .swp files on.
  The only message I get on the terminal is

  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Vim: Got X error
  Vim: Finished.

  This behaviour started from Xubuntu 18.04.
  The vim-gtk package is not suffering from this problem.
