Comment 6 for bug 289925

I have seen this bug on two i386 machines. Both were recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. One machine has a Radeon card, the other an Intel on-board.

I have found that if I call glutCreateWindow() before calling glutInitDisplayMode() the problem goes away most of the time.
