That's why I'm pushing for a compromise.  When the first instance of POV
opens it should do what it does now.  Show the splash, open up, come to the
front etc.  But on subsequent /RENDER commands sent to the original instance
POV should stay minimized if it is minimized, or stay in the tray if it's in
the tray.  That way it's obvious that POV is doing the work, and those of us
that want to use in the background can work.

Am I way off base here?
