Yes, as I said in the original post, QGLWidget::initializeGL is called with 
its GL context already made current.  And just to verify that, I tried adding 
an explicit call to QGLWidget::makeCurrent at the start of my override, which 
didn't help.  Then, I added some debugging code to switch to another (shared) 
context and back, printing the return value of glXGetCurrentContext after each 
switch and before the first one.  That inexplicably made the glGetString call 
start working, although the context values looked like they were doing the 
right thing.

And with the original code, running the program with MESA_DEBUG=1 makes the 
library complain about calling glGetString with no active context, even when a 
debugging glXGetCurrentContext shows the correct (nonzero) value.
