This is what I meant.  glXCreateWindow is *NOT* OpenGL 1.3.  It is GLX
1.3.  When you refer to the OpenGL version, that is the platform
indepenednt part.  It refers to the functions that begin with gl[A-WYZ]
(i.e., those that don't start with glX).

It is part of GLX 1.3, but most applications can be coded to not need
that function at all.  Unless you need the attribs or other added
functionality of glXCreateWindow, you can safely use the window ID
returned by XCreateWindow.  For an example of using this with fbconfigs,
see progs/xdemos/glxgears_fbconfig.c in the Mesa source.
