Comment 1 for bug 87539

I am attempted to implement overpainting as outlined in /usr/share/doc/python-qt4-doc/examples/opengl/overpainting.py. Unfortunately, I can't because the example I am following doesn't work.

I am not the only one with this error:

However, when contacting riverbank computing about the failure of the example, I was told "works for me".

This is the only example I've tried to run. If there are other failing examples, perhaps this is symptomatic of something wrong?
