I found the answer to this in another thread. The problem only occurs
with IDLDE. A workaround is to add the line:
idlde*backgroundIdl: False
into the file .idlde
You seem to need to do this every time you run IDLDE.
I now have full OpenGl graphics for my object windows...
George.

Make sure that you are using the 0.2.1 version of the Apple X11 Beta.
Also, there is a known problem with using the IDLDE with this version of the
Beta. IDL works fine using Object Graphics from the command line. There
are a few workarounds:
- Don't use the IDLDE.
- Use software rendering for object graphics (renderer=1)
- Prevent the IDLDE from forking: (put "idlde*backgroundIdl: False" in your
.idlde file) You can then start the IDLDE with "idlde&" to achieve the same
effect.
There is more information on all this in this newsgroup (thread: X11 0.2.1,
OpenGL and IDL object Graphics) and in the RSI Tech Tips.
