/** <P> An Animator can be attached to a GLDrawable to drive its
    display() method in a loop. For efficiency, it sets up the
    rendering thread for the drawable to be its own internal thread,
    so it can not be combined with manual repaints of the
    surface. </P>

    <P> The Animator currently contains a workaround for a bug in
    NVidia's drivers (80174). The current semantics are that once an
    Animator is created with a given GLDrawable as a target, repaints
    will likely be suspended for that GLDrawable until the Animator is
    started. This prevents multithreaded access to the context (which
    can be problematic) when the application's intent is for
    single-threaded access within the Animator. It is not guaranteed
    that repaints will be prevented during this time and applications
    should not rely on this behavior for correctness. </P>
