By forcing offscreen rendering, I believe I meant hacking Wine so that it 
always uses redirected/offscreen GL rendering even it it thinks it shouldn't 
need to. This is automatically done by Wine when drawing to a child windows, 
there's no way for an app to "force" it (short of creating a child window).

IIRC, what needs to happen is Wine needs to use offscreen GL rendering when a 
window has WS_CLIPCHILDREN, but apps tend to set that flag even if they don't 
use child windows (needlessly causing redirected GL rendering). That's what I 
remember anyway, but I could be wrong.
