[PD] Gem loses acceleration on dimen set?

[pix]

for me, dimen doesn't do anything.

i really expected it to crash, because normally if i breathe, blink, or
lapse from a state of trancendental meditation, gem crashes pd.

but this has a lot to do with this message, i guess:

error: GEM: Unable to create single buffer window
error: GEM: Error creating const context
error: GEM: A serious error occured creating const Context
error: GEM: Do not continue!

and it's right, single buffer mode doesnt work. but normal double buffer
mode works within the rigid operating parameters outlined above (actually,
it normally just crashes when i try to destroy the window, or close the
patch). 

debian unstable, x4.1, ati mobility m3.
