Maybe the problem is related to this:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-June/msg02745.html

It looks like it is illegal to call any GL function before
getting a GL Context, but many OpenGL implementations allow it (including
32-bit Mesa). But on 64-bit Mesa this fails.

I looked, and while clutter does call glXCreateContext, it does not
do it before the GL crash we are seeing. I'm not 100% sure though.

Does clutter 0.3 correctly initialize a context and thus not crash?
