[Paraview] Disabling OpenGL window pop-up

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I believe you are talking about the server-side render window that pops up.

I am attaching a experimental patch to get you started. It works only
on Linux. All I am doing it not mapping the window. Now when you run
server with offscreen:

pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

and connect to it from ParaView client, you should no longer see any
server-side windows when remote rendering.

Of course the patch is more of a hack, but it should give you a starting point.
