No, just GDK drawing in the master repository. The necessary changes to
make it work with GL are now rolled into the GL swithover patch.

If you're getting crashes on a single line, I suspect the problem may be
related to some GL setup / teardown which isn't working right to setup
the off-screen drawing areas. With this in mind, I'll give it a try on
my other machine next week (with NVidia graphics).

I'm not sure an account would help, since I'd imagine it would need to
be accessing the graphics card as usual. Remote login would change the
test. Thanks for the offer though.. I'll let you know if it looks like
it would be useful at any point.
