glut corrupts terminal titlebar

[Markus Ilmola]

1. Open gnome-terminal (works with xterm and nautilus too)

2. Install freeglut3-dev package:

sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

3. Copy these lines to a file called test.c

#include <GL/glut.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
 glutInit(&argc, argv);
 glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE |GLUT_DEPTH);
 glutCreateWindow("test");
 return 0;
}

4. Compile test.c

gcc test.c -o test -lglut

5. Run the the compiled program

./test

6. Observe the terminal titlebar as it appears corrupted.

It seems the content of the titlebar is replaced with "random" content from the memory.

With enough tries, this makes it even possible to view the contents of bitmaps open in other programs in the titlebar.

ps.
This bug seem to be hardware specific as my other laptop which has an ATI video card does not suffer from this bug.
