Turns out that some of the OpenGL drivers need longer time for the 1st start up after a driver update, or when the kernels need to be re-compiled. This leads to the OpenGL watchdog firing before the initialization completes, causing an unnecessary restart of LibreOffice. Similarly to the blacklisting, we need to extend the watchdog timeout in the "known good, but taking more time" situations, to fix this issue.

Bug 100487 is I believe a duplicate of this; though the Windows version there looks like Vista I think (?)
Nope, it's the same thing: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832(v=vs.85).aspx 6.1 == Windows 7 :-)
