That would work, but it would mean bitmaps couldn't be shared
between devices and they would no longer be usable if their display
was closed. I suppose that is an option, and I didn't think of it.
That is actually the way the driver was written initially but I
thought sharing bitmaps between windows was important.
Are bitmaps sharable with the OpenGL drivers? Or are they tied to a
display? What happens when you destroy that display?
