As an application developer and GtkGLExt user, my main interest is in

Yes, now that we have a stable release that addresses immediate

I assume you're talking about the geometric object rendering.  While I 
agree that these don't necessarily fit in with the mantra of "do one 
thing well", I think they have value in the example code.
