So it really doesn't seem to be *blending* that's the problem here, it's 
just that you're not getting a GL context set up at all?  I note that 
the following functions:

XDISPLAY_POINTER = ctypes.POINTER( struct__XDisplay )
...
         self.display = GdkX11.x11_get_default_xdisplay()
         self.xscreen = GdkX11.x11_get_default_screen()

         self.xdisplay = ctypes.cast( hash(self.display), XDISPLAY_POINTER )

are there, and seem to work, but glXChooseVisual always returns None on 
my machine, which the docs suggest is due to an unrecognized attribute 
in the attribute list.

Afraid I haven't much more to go on.  This *looks* like it's something 
simple going wrong, but I don't see it immediately.

Good luck,
Mike
