Here is another workaround. It appears that the root cause of the crash is
that the IDLDE detaches itself from the controlling terminal process. This
messes up the X and GL connections during the process fork. The Apple guys
are looking at it.

You can add:

idlde*backgroundIdl: False

to your .idlde file to keep the idlde from forking. This will let you use
hardware acceleration while using the idlde.
