There's no tremendous hurry here; we can't usefully use Mesa/DRI for a
Compositing manager until Mesa/DRI can paint to the off-screen buffers
holding the redirected content.

The only question is whether using an alternate FBConfig is feasible,
and it looks to be not only a feasible change, but actually supported in
the GLX 1.3 API.
