** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: freeglut3
  
  When a compositor (Compiz is the only one I tried) is active and an Xlib
  version of Mesa is selected via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, GLUT windows appear
  transparent when they shouldn't.
  
- Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS works around the problem.
+ Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS works around the problem when xlib/Mesa
+ is used, but setting that and using Mesa/DRI prevents the GLUT program
+ from working at all.
  
  http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES5.html, section 5.3
  claims that this problem is with the application mistakenly using a new
  visual, exposed by the Composite extension. The release notes also claim
  this won't affect most users, since Composite isn't enabled by default.
  This is not the case for Xorg on Ubuntu (at least).
  
  This is on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04. freeglut3 version 2.4.0-6.1ubuntu1 (at
  least) is affected. The xlib version of Mesa was built from the January
- 22nd Mesa release (7.3).
+ 22nd Mesa release (7.3). Mesa 7.4 / xlib, released April 29th, is also
+ affected.
