Unfortunately, I think you are wrong. 

Not because I understand it :) 

Perhaps a bigger debian guru could explain how it works.

I am the one who told you how to install the nvidia binary drivers, the way I do. 
However on my debian system I also have mesa installed with no conflict.

thus

mlaks Rashi:~$ dpkg -l|grep mesa

ii  libgl1-mesa-dri                             7.0.3-7                       A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI

I use them because for instance
mlaks Rashi:~$ dpkg -L mesa-utils
/.

And who could be without glxgears?

Good luck.

You should also post your resolution of this  issue with the gtkglext list, so you dont leave that list with a 'bad thread' indicating a 'bug'
that doesn't exist.
