[Gridflow-dev] [gemdead]

[Antonio Roberts]

Thanks and sorry that I didn't stick around to get the reply on IRC.

Secondly, can the cube be rendered to an [#out window] object? I know
[#from_pix] can handle [pix_] objects, and I've tried using a [cube]
as a [pix_texture] that I can then send to [#from_pix] but no luck so
far
