4.4 works without problem in client-server mode (although I can't seem 
to get subsampled rendering during interaction working, no matter what 
remote render settings I try). 5.0.0 shows the same GLX-related issue as 
5.0.1.

It smells like an interaction between the new OpenGL2 backend and the 
NVidia driver we use (361.28): I tested 5.0.1 on my workstation (running 
both client and server there) with driver 364.16 and there it works 
without a problem. A test between my workstation (PV client) and a 
different machine (PV server) with driver 352.79 also works.
