Well, that doesn't really matter (i.e. I could live with that). What
matters is that the position of the light is transformed every time I
change the modelview matrix -- after the light is already placed in the
scene, by doing glLoadIdentity() and gluLookAt() -- and I don't want that
to happen.
If that can't work, is there another way to change my perspective in the
scene which won't move the light with me?
