  Well, if you don't have X support in POV-Ray, you won't see the image
while it's rendering it.
  (Well, technically speaking that's not completely true because when
there's no graphical window POV-Ray will instead show an ascii version
of the image instead... However, that is in no way enough. :P )

  With properly compiled povray and properly configured emacs you can
make it look like this:
