Review request for 7119760: (mac) The OpenGL queue flusher thread is created in the wrong thread group

[Phil Race]

Looks OK to me. We've had to do the same a in fair number of places 
across 2D/AWT
in the past. See sun/font/SunFontManager.java for example.

I can only suppose this one was overlooked because the opengl pipeline 
was not being used
in the browser until now.
