: You run POV in the foreground?! 

  When I'm povraying I have usually 4 windows: 1 emacs and 3 xterms.
  The emacs window is naturally for editing the pov code.
  One xterm is for running povray. I like running it directly from the
command line in foreground because I can control it better (for example
I can interrupt it). I can also run povray and see its texts and edit the
scene at the same time (I know that this can be done by splitting the emacs
window, but it's small enough and I don't want to be splitting it any more).
  The second xterm is for anything else I want to do while povray renders
(for example reading news).
  The third xterm is permamently burned on screen (figuratively speaking)
because it's my irc-window.
  I also have Netscape permanently running minimized so that I can launch
it at any time to see an URL or do anything else doable with netscape.
