NetRadiant had this issue too, I suppose it is a conflict between gtkglext and
Aero, not Radiant related.

Disabling Aero from the preferences of the EXE file helped, so as a workaround,
I added this code to initialization in 1.5:

#ifdef WIN32
  HMODULE lib;
  lib = LoadLibrary("dwmapi.dll");
  if(lib != 0)
  {
	  void (WINAPI *DwmEnableComposition) (bool bEnable) = (void (WINAPI *) (bool bEnable)) GetProcAddress(lib, "DwmEnableComposition");
	  if(DwmEnableComposition)
		  DwmEnableComposition(FALSE);
	  FreeLibrary(lib);
  }
#endif

I would suppose this same code should work in ZeroRadiant?
