I'm drawing a cube, but winding the triangles (each side is 2 tris) 
CLOCKWISE, because I want the cube to be "inside out."  That is, I want 
it to be facing so that "normally" the viewer is in the center looking 
at the "inside" of the box (similar to a skybox.)

The difference is, for debugging purposes, I'm looking at this box from 
OUTSIDE -- basically, it's acting as my "rotating cube" in a sample app.

Since I'm doing glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_FILL), I'd EXPECT to only be 
able to see the back-sides of the cube -- that is, I'd think that the 
sides nearest me would be invisible, and I'd only see the 3 sides 
furthest from me.

Instead, that sort-a/kind-a works, but I get this weird sort of 
distorted view that seems to show all 6-sides, kind-of, but not quite 
exactly -- the near ones have a sort of transparency to them.

The texture I'm using on my cube can be seen at:

And a screenshot is at:

Can someone explain why I'm getting these odd results?

Thanks!

Duh. Nevermind...

I thought CullFace was on by default. gl.glEnable (GL.GL_CULL_FACE); 
fixed the problem.

Sorry for the bother...
