What does KDE use OpenGL for?  And, what about it do your clients not
support?  AFAIK, almost all the linux distributions these days support
OpenGL out of the box (even if just in software).  That seems like a
bit of stretch to switch for just that.

  This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source
  people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security
  threat. -- Bruce Sterling
