Another option, you can use your window manager to automatically move the windows to a different workspace and they won't get in your way. If you have compiz enabled, then you can use the Place Windows plugin. Below is a script that I use to get those vtk windows out of my way. The script automates settings that you can access in compiz config settings manager gui.
Pat #!/bin/bash workspace=4 match_rule="class=Paraview|class=vtk" key="/apps/compiz/plugins/place/screen0/options" if [ "$1" == "on" ] then echo "enabling place windows" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_matches" --type list --list-type string "[$match_rule]" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_x_values" --type list --list-type int "[$workspace]" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_y_values" --type list --list-type int "[1]" elif [ "$1" == "off" ] then echo "disabling place windows" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_matches" --type list --list-type string "[]" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_x_values" --type list --list-type int "[]" gconftool-2 --set "$key/viewport_y_values" --type list --list-type int "[]" else echo "Usage: $0 [on|off]" exit 1 fi On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Andy Bauer <andy.ba...@kitware.com> wrote: > As far as I know, using mesa and offscreen rendering is the only way to do > that.
