shared libs tend to have constructor and destructor functions, so 
probably more than nothing happens:

Anyway, thanks for pointing this out.

If you have an Nvidia card, at best glamor doesn't hurt. If you have an 
Nvidia card and something else that uses glamor, it won't work. And if 
you don't have an Nvidia card it doesn't matter. To me this clearly 
translates into "Conflicts: ..."

I have removed glamor already yesterday. :)
