If there's a way to make NWN call glFinish() before glXSwapBuffers() (I
don't know if there is), that might help.

Also, if you have sync-to-vblank enabled, try disabling it.

Toggling the VSync option in NWN (and restarting NWN) does not make a 
difference. 

I'm not sure how to force the OpenGL magic you refer to in your first hint. Is 
there a way to do this for closed-source applications (LD_PRELOAD tricks 
etc)?

Also, at least for NWN, the nwmouse hack[1] (which converts the NWN software 
cursor into a hardware curso) makes the problem go away (I've had NWN hang on 
me in my first test session, but that turned out to be non-reproducible).
