The reason that leaving out 'flush' seems to work sometimes is that some 
OpenGL implementations (e.g. Mesa in SW rendering mode) do not have the 
highly asynchronous behaviour allowed by the OpenGL spec. OTOH, e.g. NVIDIA's 
driver definitely needs a 'flush'/'swapBuffers'. So as a general rule, use 
one of these functions at the end of your display callback.
