First, I gotta ask -- you are running an XServer, right? :-)

Try this once for hits and shiggles:
povray povray.ini -geometry +0+0
Maybe the window is going off-screen for some freaky reason? That will keep
it snuggled and warm at 0,0.

Also, what is your DISPLAY variable set to?
To see, type: echo $DISPLAY in a shell.
Maybe it is redirecting elsewhere for some reason?
If it is, try setting DISPLAY to localhost
