Still trying to find out what is happening...

I dont believe this is an nVidia thing cause I tried with different cards /
drivers and I still got the same behavior.

I googled around and I cant seem to find any relevant info either ...

for some reason it seems that it cant get the correct pixel format sometimes
although I am setting it with 

 setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_COLOR, 8);   
 setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_ALPHA,  8);

Using :

setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_COLOR, AUTO);   
setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_ALPHA,  AUTO);

has exactly the same result which makes sense because in
GLXWindow::chooseGLXFBConfig AUTO and ON default to 8 bit format...

When the application runs as expected, this is the relevant info that I get:

Using GLXWindow
New X11 Connection @0x2c3c5e0
Created X11 drawable 71303174
Window drawable config: GL3.3|rgb8a8|acc64|DB

Everything seems to be initialized correctly , my drawable config returns
the correct settings and everything runs just fine...

I cant seem to understand why it would just occasionally fail to set the
default format ...

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
