Bug Description

Compiz is still hanging in VirtualBox, even after 4.2.6 where XOpenDisplay was moved from glXBindTexImageEXT to glXCreateContext. It appears to be hanging when we have to manage an external texture, and so we need a server grab during glXBindTexImageEXT. VirtualBox's implementation of glXBindTexImageEXT places protocol calls on a second connection, which cause a deadlock, because they block forever.

  * debian/patches/100_workaround_virtualbox_hang.patch
    - VirtualBox uses a shared-memory texture_from_pixmap_implementation
    which is not compatible with our server grab usage, so force
    a different bind method when running with virtualbox and binding
    an externally managed texture
