You did not miss anything. There is no way to do it as far as I know.
I never investigated why this happens. I guess it has something to
do with the way the window is created (and also probably with the
fact that there is no event loop). If you have more than one window
on one display, you have to use offscreen rendering.

Yeah, I have seen this happen. You have to change the property of
the mpich service (I think there is a check box that reads "allow
interaction with desktop" or something similar). Make sure that you
restart the service afterwards.
