[vtkusers] OpenGL2 backend and Remote Desktop

[Ken Martin]

I doubt it will ever work with remote desktop unless MS decides to update
their opengl from the decade old version they have. I use Nomachine which
works in a different way so it may not be what you are shooting for but it
might work for you.

Thanks
Ken
