      Yes when using Java3D and GraphicsConfigTemplate3D is possible and wanted for the Java3D Canvas3D
      to use a different GraphicsConfiguration compared to its parent components GraphicsConfiguration
      especially when using 3D Stereoscopy.

      The old awt-dev discussion ended with a behavioural change in Container when using 7u45 and later.
      JDK-6804747 : Ensure consistent graphicsConfig member across components hierarchy
      http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6804747
      http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/rev/66d6db0a1de6

      This change caused Java3D Stereoscopy to stop working when using professional
      3D equipment such as NVIDIA Quadro (FX) or ATI/ASUS FireGL, compatible monitors.
      The Stereo capable GraphicsConfiguration GC of the Canvas3D now gets replaced using
      Component.setGraphicsConfiguration() inside java.awt.Container.addImpl()
      by the non Stereo enabled GraphicsConfig of the parent window/frame.
      Regressions caused by JDK-6804747 is described here:
