I'm really not working on it - mainly for three reasons: 1) if you want to
use GL, GtkGlExt is "good enough" and integrating it into gtk+ it's not a
good idea; 2) cairo should get GPU acceleration for 2D drawing, which is
what most of users really care about; 3) if you want a 3D canvas you should
be using Clutter.

Integrating raw GL inside a gtk+ application is a niche requirement enough
that I'm not at all sure it should be moved to gtk+ itself. And if you're
dropping into raw GL there is no way you are not a niche use case.
