Yup, and sad to say no dice.   compiz was the source of grief with
another bug in the same apps that I have now fixed.  Truth be told I
suspect it will be quicker to just rewrite the windowing part of the
code in gtkglext rather than debugging. The entire app was written in
GLUT, windows, buttons text input boxes as this was in the days of
X11/motif.
