I'm not sure that the Windows Remote Desktop supports the GL/GLX
extensions that Java 3D requires (which is what the error message
indicates to me).  I've been able do display remotely
from Unix systems using VNC, but never with Windows Remote Desktop.
We could talk to Brian about this next week to see if there
are any configurations that can be set on the server side.
