Yes, I notice if the NVIZ window is obscured by another or slightly off the
edge of the screen you can get random garbage in the output image.

6.3.cvs is currently left trying to use GLX Pixmaps and pBuffers, in the

that but we have to remember to change it each time we cut a new release
branch, which is a pain.
