Surprisingly, something like this is more difficult to do on each OS
(and the case of Linux, WindowManager) than you might imagine! I'm
guessing OSG doesn't currently support this with it's 3 main
GraphicsWindow{Carbon,X11,Win32} classes, but I'm not 100% sure. The
latest SVN version of SDL has a function called SDL_HideWindow, which
purports to do what you want as well...
As a sort-of workaround you could add a small osgText::Text object that
shows some spinning "Please Wait..." text, along with setting the
OSG_WINDOW variable to your desired orthographic size. This way, it'll
look like you meant to open that window. Or you could put some fancy
stats in there and whatnot... :)
Not an acceptable solution in every case, but maybe a humorous one!
