In fact, it may be quite simple to attach a GL context to any view that
is not rotated:  Just create a sub xwindow located exactly at the
position of the given view in it enclosing NSWindow (and update it
when the context receives the -update message)
We don't  need the GSXView for that anymore...

what is the semantic with respects to subviews, in this case ?
Because in this implementation, no subviews will be visible anymore.
Nor any overlapping view (because the drawing of such views will be
clipped by the glx window.)
