Description:
I (now) know the specs call for OpenGL 1.5, but this is buried in a FAQ on the workbench site. To an unsuspecting user the resulting crash/exception could be considered a bug (which is what I thought at first). 

How to repeat:
Create a new EER Diagram

Suggested fix:
Either perform a check at startup to see if OpenGL 1.5 is available and quit if it's not, or catch the exception and provide a meaningful error message to the user.

In v5.0.10 runtime check was added to determine hardware enabled OpenGL version. Hardware enabled rendering should be possible only on machines supporting OpenGL v1.5 (glitz library uses extensions defined by that version). Confirm please if the problem still exists in latest version of Workbench or close the bug otherwise.
