Re: "force quit" dialog popping up during certain activities

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

Unfortunately, with the way OpenGL works, it likely has to do
intensive IO work on the main thread, texture uploads and shader
compiles and such, since there's currently no way to not block on
those.

You should be able to ignore the dialog until the game springs back to life.
