i thought the same idea.
But investigation modifications in x11drv to permit wine x pixmaps 
access for wined3d/opengl will fix many problems (but not hthe 
multiple pixel formats) 

Anyway we must move some code of wined3d and opengl32 
(GLX code, etc...) to x11drv as it permit :
 - to handle this problems without hacks (ie many ExtEscape) 
 - to help macos-X to port wined3d and opengl (all specific cost 
must be on x11drv/qwartwdrv)

Well, at least i take time for it :) 
(and reviewing the flood of d3d patches) 

Waiting for you for coding :p
