I suppose the OpenGL window would overlap the non-X11 child window. But such a 
thing does not work now, nor will it ever as long as OpenGL draws directly to 
the main window. But this would only be an issue when the actual OpenGL 
window area is overlapped by something from the same parent window (a 
seperate popup MessageBox, for example, would still work fine). And even in 
Windows, OpenGL windows have problems when overlapped with other child 
windows.
