Can you give you Video Card information? It is a common problem on Intel cards.
P.S.
You can access user preference by changing subwindow editor type to "User Preference"

The build from graphical was an optimized build, which shouldn't be used as reference ever.
However, we know Intel cards have big problems with opengl applications that open 2nd windows... this is not solvable, we have to wait for intel to fix this, or for a developer who has this kind of hardware and discovers a work around. We had this report several times btw, and i really would like it to be solved.
Note that blender in windows runs fine on ati/nvidia cards. :)
(move report to opengl tracker)

nazg-gul seems to fix the problems with Intel cards on Windows. Thanks!
May you check the new build for errors on your system? And report any problems. Thanks.
