A passive window that already has a context that was created by another
program for me.

I have seen the render_to_app_window, but this is for the desktop
application, not the server(render nodes).
I want the render nodes that are rendering the crapfaker graphics to be
essentially injecting the OpenGL stream into this passive window.  I
ulitimately am going to be changing the OpenGL stream to cut out the view
matrices and such but this is the first step before I get to that.

I would like to avoid getting deep into X and GLX if possible ;)
