What says that a gl context can be used by one thread only? In the 
glxDestroyContext man page it sounds like a context has a sort of reference 
count, and it can be used by multiple threads.

A little bit OT, but related to multi-threaded opengl is a bug in the dri 
radeon driver(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6240). I've 
reported it to the dri devs but didn't get any response so far.
