The algorithm that chooses the FBConfig doesn't check the values of
GLX_SAMPLES and GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS, so I guess it ends up picking an
MSAA config purely by accident. That's something we'll have to fix in
KWin.

But unfortunately that also means that there is no way to enable or
disable the use of MSAA right now.
