background texture. Switch to ortho and then switch back to 3d - opengl

Question

I am working on a background texture. What I want to do is that I want to set a background image. For that in my code I used switch to ortho, draw a square full of window size, texture it. Then switch back to 3d and draw 3d images. It draw the background texture and snowman but they all disappear in a sec. I have no idea where the error code is. gotta have something to do with pushing and popping the matrix I think. Below is the code of my InitGl, draw() and drawsnowman(), main and reshape(). I think the problem is in draw() function during the swithc between 3D to 2d. Advice?
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit (&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_DOUBLE);
glutInitWindowSize (500, 500);
glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100);
glutCreateWindow ("A basic OpenGL Window");
glutKeyboardFunc(key);
if( !initGL() ) { // NEW (16)
printf( "Unable to initialize graphics library!\n" );
return 1;
}
glutDisplayFunc (display);
// glutIdleFunc (display);
glutIdleFunc(idle);
glutReshapeFunc (reshape);
//Load our texture
texture = LoadTexture( "texture.bmp", 256, 256 );
glutMainLoop ();
//Free our texture
FreeTexture( texture );
return 0;

Reoccuring newbie misconception: OpenGL "initialization".
OpenGL is not initialized! All the code you have in initGL and reshape belongs into display.
In the case of calls glLight… those must be placed in display, after setting the modelview matrix into the space you want the lights to be in. Also OpenGL is not a library; yes originally the 'L' in OpenGL did mean library, but I backronymed it to Layer, because that's what it is on most modern graphics systems: A layer between a end user program and the GPU and its drivers.
I think once you moved the code from initGL and reshape to display, the solution should become clear: You can change, reset and modify the projection and modelview matrix whenever you like. To have the window width and height available in display either store them in global variables in reshape, or, the preferred solution, use glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH) and glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_HEIGHT) to query the window dimensions in the display function.
You want to draw things in a orthographic projection? Then setup projection and modelview appropriately. Switching to a perspective? Just do it.

Answer 2

I think I kinda figure out why my background texture keep disappearing. I had Cullface and depth something turned on. I turned it off befor popping the last matrix and it works.
However, there is one problem. The texture image is snowy background, but it turns into all red. So first I thought it was due to the reflection of the lighting from the snowgirl. I turned off all the light and still red. Can't figure out why. Could it be, the texture color blending in with the original color of the snowman?
