Yep. That allowed me to fix the ggi*Attach() functions in the
extensions. TNX.

I want to know that _before_ calling ggiExtensionDetach(), because
ggi{GA|Ovl|Blt}Detach() want to free private structure in the last
instance, which are stored in the visual. And when I call
ggiExtensionDetach() before, then a segfault occures. Maybe
ggiExtensionDetach() frees the priv, but it can't free a dynamic list
at all...
Actually, I did the work with the patch attached to my other mail.
It works fine for me.

Don't worry about that. :)

That's why I will ask in the ggi*Detach() function and not hold a
static global variable holding the return code of
ggiExtensionAttach().
