The workaround would be to disable antialiasing (what we use the accumulation buffer for), which would actually be faster. But of course you'd have jagged edges.

These days fewer and fewer vendors bother to implement the accumulation buffer, so it is of limited value anyway.

Aside from making anti-aliasing optional, my plan is to create a new GTK glue based using GLUT so we can enable multisample antialiasing, which is the most popular technique these days.

Confirmed.
Indeed it is reported elsewhere [1] that the intel video chip
doesn't support accumulation buffer.

I get using a workaround would be slower, right ?

The GUI creates the window, so it decides which OpenGL features are enabled. That's probably where the error comment #2 comes from.

It seems accumulation buffer is available for some of my configurations:

36 GLXFBConfigs:
   visual  x  bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer  ms  cav
 id dep cl sp sz l  ci b ro  r  g  b  a bf th cl  r  g  b  a ns b eat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0x54  0 tc  0 32  0 r  .  .  8  8  8  8  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None
0x55  0 tc  0 32  0 r  .  .  8  8  8  8  0  0  0 16 16 16 16  0 0 Slow
.....

How is a GLXFBConfig selected by our renderer ? (or, is it?)

Yes, the renderer assumes the accumulation buffer is available even when it isn't. So the renderer should make sure it is before it attempts to use it.

Any hint on where to look at in order to fix this bastiaan ?

The almighty elvis.swf also results in that ERROR printed, and nothing is rendered after the initial loading bar (which flickers itself).

Same error with the attached movie bitmap.swf (smaller, and produced for testing purposes by Udo again).

Also, I saw this other error is printed:
ERROR: Cannot find the double-buffered visual. Trying single-buffered visual.

Testcase: magical trevor
File: 6964trev3c.swf
md5sum: ea8bbad50ccbc52dd734dfc93a7f06a7

The visible symptom is a continuos flickering during animation.
Works fine with AGG renderer.
