I'm not so sure, this seems like a bad way to fix this. Why don't you
pass the actual values from the 3D view, which would make much more sense
and avoid z-buffer inaccuracy issues?

(FYI: I've submitted a bug report about this exact problem several years ago, 
it probably got dumped into the forgetaboutit^H^H^H^H^H^H^H todo-tracker.
