OK, I'v isolated to an interaction with AWT.  Before setting up the NEWT window I load some images with AWT and convert them to JOGL images.  This had always worked just fine.  I'v always set java.awt.headless=true. In this case its still kicking in and interfering with JOGL.

I don't recall an OS X Java update recently.  Unless it's deciding to use hardware because of some other metric I don't know about.  Or it was just some random timing / side effect.

Anyway, so that answers the question... kind of :)
