Yes. Dok came up with the hack originally. It creates a new surface for 
the OpenGL app which is quite ok for fullscreen DGA apps but it's really 
bad for non-DGA apps since input is handled by the original X window and 
the graphics are drawn in the other surface. ThinkTanks is one such app. 
Nevertheless I've played it and other games. I'm pretty sure I got ut2k3 
to work also but that was through SDL.
