Sorry for a late reply, just returned from Zagreb.

I didn't delve too deep into Cairo/glitz/GtkGlExt, but I guess the 
problem is that Cairo and OpenGL use different offscreen buffers which 
are not readily reachable through existing APIs. So I could either use 
single-buffered mode (and get flickering) or mix OpenGL and Cairo calls 
(and get flickering, too).
They promise to add OpenGL support to future version of GTK, though.

Of course.

Good luck,
