Hi Phil, Thanks for the review.

In this case the decision to leave the workarround in forever is easy - it only causes minimal protocol overhead for larger strings (0.05 extra bytes per 253 characters). In other areas an API to detect the driver / xorg and library versions would have saved a lot of headache. However with wayland/mir/... on the horizon, there is still hope for better opengl drivers in mid-term future :) Thanks, Clemens
