Binary package hint: freeglut3
When a compositor (Compiz is the only one I tried) is active and an Xlib version of Mesa is selected via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, GLUT windows appear transparent when they shouldn't.
Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS works around the problem.
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES5.html, section 5.3 claims that this problem is with the application mistakenly using a new visual, exposed by the Composite extension. The release notes also claim this won't affect most users, since Composite isn't enabled by default. This is not the case for Xorg on Ubuntu (at least).
This is on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04. freeglut3 version 2.4.0-6.1ubuntu1 (at least) is affected. The xlib version of Mesa was built from the January 22nd Mesa release (7.3). |

Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS works around the problem when xlib/Mesa is used, but setting that and using Mesa/DRI prevents the GLUT program from working at all.
