it's not just an issue of Clutter: the llvmpipe software rasterizer is
still a work in progress, so some breakage is to be expected until it
stabilizes.

debugging and writing a window manager is always a bit problematic,
regardless of the usage of GL. :-)

you can use a console on the same machine, or SSH with two machines.

there are also various patches to have Xephyr working with DRI2 drivers
and GLX, but you'll probably have to dig them out of the xorg-devel
mailing list.
