I am rendering a scene (which is incredibly fast with 3.7 BTW) and would like to
use +D to display the image while it renders.  Is this broken?  I see in the
output that "Graphic Display" is set to "On" but no image appears while
rendering.    Here's what I'm doing:

 povray scene.pov +W2048 +H1024 +A  +SP16 -P +K0.0 Declare=TIMESTEP=0
Declare=USE_MMA=0 Declare=USE_CCS=0 Declare=USE_CCSM4_TIMESTEPS=0
Declare=STARS=1 Declare=GRADIENT=0 Declare=ROTATE_EARTH=80
Declare=DASHED_ORBIT=0 Declare=FULL_ORBIT=0 Declare=view_lat=40.0
Declare=DATAGRID=0 Declare=SATELLITE=0 Declare=view_dist=20.0 Declare=LOOKAT_X=0
Declare=LOOKAT_Y=0 Declare=LOOKAT_Z=2   +D

With 3.6.1, I get an image (even without +D) in 13 seconds.
With 3.7.0, the rendering is less than 1 second !! but I do not get my preview
window.

Any help?  Thanks.
