In the case of apanel, there is no error message but the application starts
up not as an icon.
Perhaps what I was remembering was that there was a way to modify the behavior
of GL programs. But either way, apanel is pure X, so that might not apply. I haven't figured out whether notepad is GL or pure X, but it does use a 12 bit deep visual.
