3D Acceleration Should [Try Harder To?] Free Textures On Application Exit -> Fixed in SVN

[fullreset]

The Problem:

• Tracking texture IDs returned by OpenGL in the Guest OS across several application launches suggests that under abnormal termination (eg signals, incl SIGINT) makes no attempt to free textures.

• Furthermore, many applications are 'sloppy' about freeing textures, assuming that the OS/libs will do so when the program ends (regardless of cause.)

Suggested Solution:

• Texture state should be tracked throughout the life of the application, and when/where possible textures should be 'collected'.

Notes:

Only tested with Linux Guest under Mac OSX Host; this problem may exist elsewhere.
