Grapefruit uses indexed type families.  We're delighted that you've adopted them so fast, but as you have discovered they aren't fully implemented.  Thank you for reporting bugs carefully; it's a real help.

However, as you know indexed type families aren't supported in 6.8.  (They will be in 6.10.)   So while Grapefruit may, just, *work* with 6.8, it's likely to be fragile, and we may well end up saying "wont-fix" to bugs that subsequently show up.

Is this as you understood it?

Meanwhile, concerning the bug below, this looks like something separate.  We aren't sure whether it's a bug in GLUT (which is Sven's package) or in GHC.   Ian and/or Simon will try to find out.  Meanwhile I'm ccing Sven.
