But should a program really crash if it relies on glx and it's not
available? It should handle this condition more gracefully IMHO.

Bryce, what should apport do here? Is it safe to say that it should
ignore _all_ crashes which end in libGL if 'extension "GLX" missing on
display' occurs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
