Robert, I create my own window using XCreateWindow, and assign visuals, pixformats, etc.
Then I construct a GraphicsWindowX11::WindowData and attach it to some GraphicsContext::Traits and create a new graphics context. I can realize the context, but makeCurrent keeps failing. Is there anything that you notice that I might be doing wrong?

The Viewer::realize() just calls these methods itself, so they do work. Perhaps there is something specific about your usage model that is breaking things. Robert.
