            Bug ID: 165200
           Summary: [GTK] GLXBadFBConfig error when creating an OpenGL
                    context
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk

When the OpenGL extension GLX_ARB_create_context is available, we use it to request a gl context with version 3.2. If the returned context is null, we fall back to use glXCreateContext and get whatever version is available.

But when using the extension, if the OpenGL version is lower than 3.2, not only glXCreateContextAttribsARB returns null, but it also throws a GLXBadFBConfig X error that causes the app to crash instead falling back to the legacy code. We need to handle this GLXBadFBConfig error.
