Just to clarify, repetedly running glxinfo seems to tickle the problem for me 
quite a bit quicker, but it's not the only thing that makes it happen.  The 
xscreensaver GL hacks do it after a while (the problem seems to be worse when 
you have the small one in the preview mode, then go fullscreen) -- it just 
takes a bit longer.
