Good enough for me. As far as I understand, I should make a script
that undefs $DISPLAY, launches megapov and exports $DISPLAY again in
case I want to start a X app from the same console (though logging on
is three keystrokes away :) ).

Perhaps a small set of scripts would be handy? I know many users of
Unix POV-Ray have their own, maybe we could share and include the most
useful ones in the next (un)official release of (Mega)POV?
