it is not silly, but we (chris and me), assure you that the "mode"
message does nothing but enable/disable rectangle texturing (if
possible); i think it is a misnomer, as "mode" might mean anything...

unfortunately this doesn't say much, as the object will always print
this when you toggle the mode.
(it is really: "if mode=1 print 'using mode 1:GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB'")

the good thing is, that when chris changed the code from _EXT to _ARB he
basically did a search'n'replace, so it now posts "ARB" which made me
have a look.

well, actually i am trying to involve you into solving the problem.
could you please apply to attached patch to the Gem-sources, re-compile
and tell me if the problem is still there?
please try both "mode 0" and "mode 1" messages (even if you are fine
with using only "mode 0", i would prefer if both modi worked)
