On this point the fault would be mostly mine (I wrote the original OpenGL
support) as when discussing with AJ during WineConf2004 I found out that GL
would be broken as soon as the new WM code would be merged in and so had about
one year to write the code 'un-breaking' it but never found the motivation.

Anyway, as most Open Source project, refactoring is often done in a more drastic
way than in commercial projects (i.e. 'legacy' code is removed even if it breaks
things). This for two reasons: a cleaner code baseline and to provide motivation
for peole to fix the issues (otherwise the legacy code would remain in the tree
for ages).

And as this GL provlem is present in the tree for months now, it seems that
nobody is really motivated to fix it.

As for Codeweavers' tree, which is more in line with the support you would
expect from a commercial company, well, just buy it and get them to support your
favourite application so as to get them to fix the issue for you :-)
