#1091: glut: unexpected exit on (use glut)
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mario       |       Owner:  felix  
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  someday
Component:  extensions  |     Version:  4.8.x  
 Keywords:  glut        |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Steps to reproduce:

 {{{
 $ DISPLAY= csi -e '(use glut)'
 freeglut (csi): failed to open display ''
 $ echo $?
 1
 }}}

 If I understand correctly, there's no way to easily/cleanly handle that
 failure in scheme code.

 Maybe glut should provide an initialization procedure that should be
 explicitly called and raise an exception on failure (so that it can be
 handled)?
