Other applications that use GL can fallback gracefully if it isn't 
available.  It is fragile if it crashes.  It would usually crash with no 
indication to the user of what happened, since they launched it from the 
menu.  I guess it would be nice if this could be fixed later.

Upstream's Linux binaries are compiled with GL too, (but their default 
font sizes are larger and easier to read).  We can push the package 
after we come to some agreement on the package name, summary and 
description.
