I just checked the source code and it looks like we planned ahead
for this but just haven't stress tested it yet.

See roughly line 156 in
src/net/java/games/jogl/impl/windows/WindowsOnscreenGLContext.java
and roughly line 142 in
src/net/java/games/jogl/impl/x11/X11OnscreenGLContext.java, in
particular the checking for JAWT_LOCK_SURFACE_CHANGED. I don't
know whether that will be sufficient; in particular I think if a
canvas is being animated and it's removed from its parent it will
probably start returning JAWT_LOCK_ERROR, which will cause the
GLException a few lines earlier to be thrown.
