place a TGLSceneViewer on a form and a TButton above the viewer. In
gtk1, this shows up as expected, in gtk2, the button is hidden by the
viewer.. This might be not entirely fair because TGLSceneViewer 3rd
party component for openGL display, but in win32 and gtk1 it works ..
Also see e.g. bug #8346
