I just realized this  as well. Gdk initialization calls epoxy which calls
exit() if libGL.so.1 is not there. This is clearly a major problem as it
happens for all GTK+ applications, not just GL users.

As an aside the reason this didn't come up before was that something seems
to cache that initialization: If I run an application with libGL.so.1 in
place once, I can then remove the library and run the application again
successfully... Not sure what's going on there but it did hide the problem
from me.

A quick workaround is setting environment variable "GDK_GL=disabled". I'm
looking at other possible fixes now.
