    Hi,

    it is great that Parallels finally supports accelerated OpenGL for Linux, which also allows to run GNOME Shell in Ubuntu Karmic. There are a few texture issues, but all in all it is running pretty well with the binary package.

    I haven't been able to compile a current version though, as there appears to be some issue with the GL library when recompiling clutter:

    checking for glXCreateContext in -lGL... no
    configure: error: Required GLX library not found

    Does anybody else have experience or information about this? Is this something that is still being worked on? As I want to use Parallels (also) to do development on GNOME Shell, this is a big issue for me that is forcing me to still run Ubuntu from a separate partition at the moment.
