Is there a specific reason why that is the case? I would want the behaviour
of ParaView's pvserver which does not show anything on the screen.

I just tried the RemoteServer example through 'pvpython pv_server.py -p
1234' and I see the same behaviour: rendering happens offscreen but a blank
window still shows.


Thanks,
Dan
