Among other things, there have been a few changes regarding event handling and 
redraw since the 2.4.0 release, so it might be the case that this has already 
been fixed. Could you try to build the CVS HEAD, use "--enable-debug" during 
the configure stage, and send output which is generated when your programs 
behave incorrectly? Or even better: Use the bug tracker on SourgeForge to 
record the bugs. Doing this would really help to identify and fix any bugs...

To the fellow freeglut hackers: I think we should really release a 2.5.0 
version, otherwise the "compile CVS HEAD, please" recommendation will be our 
standard answer. And another thing we should discuss is a move from CVS to 
Subversion, as this is more powerful and a few people have trouble accessing 
CVS through corporate fiewalls. Subversion's use of HTTP(S) should easily 
cure this.
