/** Singleton thread upon which all OpenGL work is performed by
    default. Unfortunately many vendors' OpenGL drivers are not really
    thread-safe and stability is much improved by performing OpenGL
    work on at most one thread. This is the default behavior of the
    GLAutoDrawable implementations according to the {@link
    javax.media.opengl.Threading Threading} class. The GLWorkerThread
    replaces the original AWT event queue thread-based mechanism for
    two reasons: first, more than one AWT event queue thread may be
    spawned, for example if a dialog is being shown; second, it avoids
    blocking the AWT event queue thread during OpenGL rendering. */

          // exit, a crash occurs in the drivers. Releasing the
          // context from the given thread does not work around the
          // problem.

          // problem by not terminating the GLWorkerThread. In theory,
