Ah, moment, maybe there was a misunderstanding. I'm not saying that 
OpenGL should draw vobs in any particular order: I'm saying that the end 
result on the screen should look like in AWT. I.e., let's say you have 
overlapping cells two cells, A and B:

+-------+
|   A   +-----+
+-------+ B   |
      +-------+


In these cells, you should see the content of A over the background of A 
over the content of B over the background of B. You do not, for example, 
want to see the content of B shown over the background of A. This is 
what I care about, not warping OpenGL to draw things with the algorithm 
AWT uses ;-)
