Bug Description

Xvnc4 does not support open gl
This means (among other things)
glxgears does not run
quadrappasel does not start

Xvnc4 can be configured with open gl as the version with centos 5 has it.

bug numbers 150942 and 556270 may be similar, I report again so you get up to date version numbers of stuff.
