Patch doesn't feel right.  That usleep in there is going to cause problems, I 
think..  

It may be a slightly cleaner workaround to send a message to the main UI 
thread to tell it to do something with GL after playback has ended, or to 
spawn off a class + thread that can receive a similar message.  Still have a 
thread 'using' GL that way, and it'd not change any of the current logic.  
Thoughts?

Also, is the GL code cleaning up after itself properly?  I'm seeing a call to 
XOpenDisplay + a couple XCreate??, but nothing to get rid of em..
