mikkov: can you track that down for me? If you can find it, I think I should raise a bug right now, because this will really get application porters upset in the future.

I don't think the Maemo SW developers quite understand how upset developers will be if they are told that they must rewrite their OpenGL applications for Clutter to use hardware graphics acceleration.

I certainly don't want to have to write a hack that shuts down the desktop (and all the functionality that comes with it) just to play a game.
