[Xquartz-dev] Some opengl windows blacked out with 2.3.3rc2

I have an update on this issue.  I wrote another test case, and made  
some changes.  I believe this should be resolved in the next release  
candidate.  The changes are in the AppleSGLX public svn tree as well.   
It should restore the behavior you would have found with the old libGL.

This may resolve most of the new black window problems that users have  
been experiencing, though it doesn't resolve the withdrawn windows  
losing their surfaces, which the old libGL and X server had a problem  
with as well.
