Thanks for the link.  I finally got a chance to look at it.  But,
afaict, the glchess source you mention uses GTK+2's Drawable class and
glXSwapBuffers to do some indirect drawing in GL.  

What I am after is a straight forward GL context that can easily be used
in GTK+3.


Is there no such thing (using vala or c)?



thanks -august.
