Xwinwrap "swallow" menu in Twm/Vtwm when used with some xscreensavers


Hello everyone, been a while since I posted here - I've been somewhat obsessed with twm/vtwm for some reason, and I've made it my goal to theme it in a sleekest stylish ways possible. What I'm trying to accomplish right now is I'm trying to establish a look which I shall name "OLED". For that I'm trying to use a combination of compton, xwinwrap and xscreensaver to have both basic compositing and an animated background. The problem is, the particular screensaver I'm interested in is 'Popsquares' but however no matter what I do, whether I start compton and xwinwrap before or after the windowmanager, the menus always disappear. I don't have this problem with all windowmanagers however. I tried it with screensavers like glmatrix, matrixview, dremples, etc.. and everything works fine there. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Here's my composite.sh file that I use:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
hsetroot -solid black
#xwinwrap -b -sp -fs -nf -ov -debug -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/drempels --root --images ~/kraftblau -window-id WID &
#xwinwrap -b -sp -fs -nf -ov -debug -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/lattice --preset 4 --root &
xwinwrap -b -sp -fs -nf -ov -debug -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/popsquares -fg "rgb:00/80/90" -bg "rgb:00/00/10" -window-id WID &
#xwinwrap -b -sp -fs -nf -ov -debug -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/matrixview -root -window-id WID &
compton -FfCi 0.1 -r 5 -l -8 -t -8 -o 0.4 &
sleep 1
And here's my .xinitrc
Code:
sh compose.sh
vtwm
