The GLX_ARB_vertex_buffer_object is described on the AppDb page for
World of Warcraft and has now been known for quite some time already. If
you apply the hack, you'll see that running in OGL and D3D mode won't
make a difference in the framerate.

I also noticed the modeswitch crash, but I didn't investigate it. I
always edit the Config.wtf file if I need to switch modes (or graphics
settings). But I'll look into if if nobody else will ;)
