The gtk1 implementation uses get_xvisualinfo to retrieve an unspecific
visual. The gtk2 implementation uses glXChooseVisual, which takes a
filter. The default filter is to search for a double buffered, RGBA
visual with stencil buffer. Maybe mesa does not provide such a visual.
I added an exception, when no such visual was found.

Either the defaults must be changed or a fall back mechanism is needed.
