I agree with the reasoning here, but I've never used game mode in my life, and I'm slightly surprised that we're still using GLUT at all, I thought everything was running through osgViewer now. It's not an area of the code I feel qualified to give a yes or no answer to, I'm afraid. Tim Moore is probably the person with the clearest idea how GLUT fits into things nowadays. Thanks for the contribution, regardless.
