Indeed, perhaps I should point out that if the display doesn't support GLX
like the case of VNC server the initialisation of OpenGL fails and a lot of
confusing messages are outputted even if the application doesn't actually
use OpenGL. So the patch doesn't really break anything except that
has_opengl returns FALSE earlier and thus removes the messsages.
That said I'm sure that it possible to implement limited OpenGL without
GLX but that is another problem for another day.
