Sorry.

Originally, the list contained the full FBConfig list and dealt with it 
accordingly. But Thunderbird/Roderick said he'd prefer if the patch didn't do 
that and just retained the single main visual for now. Unless I misunderstood 
him..

Originally that section was turned into a loop to deal with the list, and the 
choose_exit would be used to skip to the next iteration. But Roderick said he 
didn't want that turned into a loop yet so I removed the for() bit, and that 
got left.

According to the docs,
"glXMakeCurrent returns True if it is successful, False otherwise."

And since the function returns what glXMakeCurrent returns, the call is not 
assumed to succeed. Without it, glXMakeCurrent may cause the program to abort 
before the rest of the program knows it failed. But I suppose that too should 
be sent seperately..

Apologies. I'll split up the patch and send the relavant parts.
