Thanks for sharing this Jason!

I'm not sure why the GL/GLES helpers aren't packaged.  They're
*intentionally* not packaged, but I don't know the reason behind that.  I
suspect it has something to do with differences between the nvidia driver
and other drivers, but that's just a wild guess.

It looks like there is a compile-time option with mate-session-manager for

 	--without-libglesv2

that *might* accomplish the same thing.  We should probably implement
either your suggestion or build with that option (if it's mostly
equivalent).

I'll ask around and see if any of the developers have a better
understanding about the reason for not including those binaries in the
first place.

Either way, I'll put this improvement onto my list of things to
investigate.

Thanks again for the idea!

Tim
