Hi, I have a GTKmm application that uses two separate OpenGL widgets within the same window. When running under Compiz, I am getting some strange behaviour. Everything is fine when it is disabled. Essentially what happens is that any resize of the widgets causes X to hang for a second or two. After that, one of the OpenGL windows no longer gets properly updated. I've attached a single example in C using GTK+ & GtkGLExt to demonstrate the problem. Maybe someone else can reproduce it. To compile: gcc opengl_multiple_context.c `pkg-config gtk+-2.0,gtkglext-1.0 --libs --cflags` This opens a window with two OpenGL contexts in a HPaned widget. Just drag the separator handle across to get the odd behaviour. Obviously I can't rule out a bug in GtkGLExt, but the fact that the problem only occurs within compiz suggests that it isn't GtkGLExt. Besides, I have no idea what other toolkit I could use to open a window with two OpenGL contexts in it... Maybe Qt? Another point of note is that I am using a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 with the NVIDIA restricted drivers... I've attached all the information that I thought could be relevant below. Thanks! Donald.
