Hi! I just finished my patch against 2.14.0 that uses xscreensaver-gl-helper to figure out what visual to use for the screensavers. This stops flickering and makes GL screensavers work just as good as with xss. The patch is at http://etpmod.phys.tue.nl/bart/gss-gl-patch.gz . My e-mail address is listed inside and comments are welcome. Feel free to use it.
I had a quick look but I could not find gtk_gl_area_new in the standard gtk libs/headers. Is it very new, or perhaps an extension.
