<para>
GL rendering calls made prior to <function>glXWaitGL</function> are guaranteed to be
executed before X rendering calls made after <function>glXWaitGL</function>.
Although this same result can be achieved using <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glFinish</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
<function>glXWaitGL</function> does not require a round trip to the server,
and it is therefore more efficient in cases where client and server
are on separate machines.
</para>
<para>
<function>glXWaitGL</function> is ignored if there is no current GLX context.

<function>glXWaitGL</function> may or may not flush the X stream.

<para>
<constant>GLXBadCurrentWindow</constant> is generated if the drawable associated
with the current context of the calling thread is a window, and that
window is no longer valid.
