ok, so while this shouldn't be happening (it should be built if openGL support 
isn't found?) there should probably be a line right after the glversionstring 
one like:

if (glGetError() != GL_NO_ERROR || glversionstring.isEmpty()) {
    setFailedToLaunch(true);
    return;
}

however, it's odd that the error is GL_NO_ERROR (which is always 0) and yet 
this happens =)
