[MINC-users] freeglut error on transform type in register, and default tranform type on register

Hi Michel,

I have often seen this bug and have always presumed it to be somewhat
harmless...  Seems that I am (now) wrong, I get no text on any of the
dialog boxes and I presume this is what you are referring to. Register
and Display relied on a lot of (at times) undocumented "features" of
glut given how embryonic the library was when register was written.  I
suspect this will be an evil bug to track down but I will see what I
can do.
