It's absolutely not necessary under one condition: GL component must be visible on screen (I
mean visible in the terms of user interface - it need not to be visible to the user, it may
be hidden under some other component). When it's visible you're guaranteed that it never is
null. If it is not visible (ie. destroyed) you will need to initialize it completely anyway
so that's not a problem.

I also tried this before. Definitely too complicated solution for any serious setup work. I
don't know what you're using it for so I can't suggest anything.

Bye,
