* A GL context is an object representing the OpenGL state information.
* Multiple GL context may share display lists to conserve memory.
* When drawing multiple windows, it may be advantageous to share not only
* display lists, but also GL contexts.  Since the GL context is created
* for a certain frame-buffer configuration, sharing of GL contexts is
* only possible if the windows sharing the GL context all have the same
* GL visual.
* However, display lists may be shared between different GL contexts.
