Try this:
sudo aptitude install python-opengl python-gtkglext1
However I think 3D mode is ugly as well.

Mine worked with just installing the 2 commands, I believe if that does not work it must be your video card. I have to agree the models in 3D look uglier than 2d. I think someone could have spent a little more time in the decoration department. :P
