I need something that allows me to reproduce what you're seeing without the
annoyance of having to install a different (dependency-laiden) desktop
environment. So it really doesn't matter what's in the trace. As long as when I
run 'glretrace' I get the issues you're getting [so you should verify it like
that as well.]

We could well have messed something up in any of many areas. If you identify
something, that'd be most helpful.</pre>
