Clear any stale errors before allocating layer

Symptom:  On first boot, the "Make yourself at home" dialog
was not drawn, but was actually present.  This prevented
swiping the home screen until you happened to click on the
invisible "OK" button or take some other action that caused
the screen to get redrawn.

Cause:  GL errors remain within GL until they are cleared by
retrieving them.  The createLayer function was affected by a
stale error leftover from some previous code sequence.  When
it retrieved GL error status to check for success/fail of an
operation it got one of these "stale" errors and erroneously
concluded that the operation had failed.

This change clears any stale errors before embarking the
operation sequence that it wants to check for success/fail.
