Well, I compiled "nuq" instead (the single player version), and I just
finished three levels without any problems (other than the weird pixel
thing which doesn't happen in q3).

I tried obscuring the window, changing virtual desktops, dragging
everything over it, etc., and couldn't get it to lock up at all.  Before,
when I had my G200, I could cause a lockup with any GL program by
dragging partially or fully obscuring the GL window.  It seems that this
isn't causing it, though, or something in the multiplayer client is.
