Of course :)

I'll have a look.

I was thinking that it would indeed use it, except for during certain 
conditions (which would be a fault then).
If you say there is no such fault, then there must be something else 
going wrong that 'by luck' gives the same memory offset fault as not 
using fbc would on the nvidia driver.

OTOH: it seems strange that the 3D driver should influence the 
app_Server where to draw the window tab! (not only the content is drawn 
at the wrong spot (which is executed by the 3D driver), but also the 
window tab (which gets drawn by the app_server....)
