Hi, the demos give the same result. xf.dog.testThreads.d also a black
window. With xf.dog.test.d I get this assertion: 
"tango.core.Exception.AssertException at xf.dog.ext.ARB_shader_objects(369):
Assertion failure" (this is gl.GetString returning null on querying the
extension strings)

glxgears works fine. I've ported this example program to D:
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/index.php/Programming_OpenGL_in_Linux:_GLX_and_Xlib

This also works ok with derelict and the x11 bindings from gld and might be
somewhat simpler than glxgears. 

I get the same result btw. when compiz is not enabled, it could very well be
something in my setup, perhaps it's linking to mesa or something like that.
I still haven't figured out how all these opengl libs + glx work under
linux, it's all quite messy imho.
