It should be, at least :-))

Which is very strange!

No, just a BDirectWindow - the views in it shouldn't really matter; you
just need them to get proper input messages in case for a direct
window.

Okay.
Have a look at the /boot/optional/sample-code/game_kit/Chart sample
(also available as a demo application). It doesn't look like there is
anything odd there (ChartWindow::SwitchContext()).

Actually, I remembered wrong: the Chart demo doesn't have a menu bar,
although it does have something similar. A BDirectWindow can have views
like any other window - it essentially is exactly like any other
window. It only gets direct information on how to access the screen
buffer, including the clipping rects.
You have to make sure that the part of the window you want to update
directly is not drawn over by a view, ie. that view shouldn't draw at
all (by using a transparent view color).

Hope that helps. What I don't understand yet, what makes BGLView
special? It should only be the GL context that it has plus the backing
buffer, right?

Hehe - sounds very nice, though :-))
