Agreed.
I suggest the printout only explains that we failed to get a pixel format
object and we're about to try again but doesn't mention the returned error;
since we don't check on its value, we could end up printing something like
"Failed to do something very important[..] (Error: No error)", which would just
be confusing IMO.
