/** Encapsulates the workaround of running all display operations on
    the AWT event queue thread for the purposes of working around
    problems seen primarily on ATI cards when rendering into a surface
    that is simultaneously being resized by the event queue thread.
    <p>

    As of JOGL 1.1 b10, this property defaults to true. Problems have
    been seen on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms that are solved
    by switching all OpenGL work to a single thread, which this
    workaround provides. The forthcoming JSR-231 work will rethink how
    such a mechanism is implemented, but the core result of needing to
    perform all OpenGL work on a single thread for best compatibility
    will remain.
