I didn't include the full code since most of it is XCB related rather than cairo but the visual is correct as far as I can tell (checked with xwininfo).  Below is the code for getting the visual of the window required to cairo.

  xcb_get_window_attributes_cookie_t  attributesCookie = xcb_get_window_attributes(conn, target_win);
  xcb_get_window_attributes_reply_t  *attributes       = xcb_get_window_attributes_reply(conn, attributesCookie, NULL);
  xcb_visualtype_t* v = xcb_aux_find_visual_by_id(screen, attributes->visual);

I added the XLIB code to double check I was getting the correct visual ID value from XCB.  As I said this works fine for 24-bit visual windows so I don't think it is my parameters that are the issue.
