I'm truly sorry if this caused you such problems. We, in gst-gl,
discussed about it for a while, there is also an open bug in bugzilla
with the reasons of the issues you were seeing and the proper way to
solve it. Somehow this went out of my radar and no one else bothered
to fix it.
Anyway it's not like gst-gl is actively maintained and constantly
updated, it's a bit more than an experiment and you shouldn't really
count on its code as the state of art way of implementing things.
GstXOverlay docs is the correct source of information to look at, it's
updated and contains detailed sample code to start from.

It's on my TODO list now, but don't count on me doing it anytime soon.
If you want to provide a patch I'll be glad to review it ;)
Sorry again,
Regards,
Filippo
