I don't think you can do it in the order you specified right now, 
although it would be a simple thing to add.  What you can do, though, is 
use your application to create a native window (an X Window or a HWND), 
and then pass that to the constructor for a vsWindow.  VESS will then 
create the OpenGL context inside that window.  We use this technique to 
embed VESS windows inside parent windows created by a GUI library (GTK+, 
in our case).

Can you elaborate on what you need to do?  It may be something we've 
already addressed with a different technique.
