The icons for Windows will have no bearing on a Linux installation.

Display is normally available under X - I use that when rendering images
myself:

povray +I3logos_base.pov +d +W800 +H600 +AM2 +A0.2

The "+d" enables the display.

I've used it a few times myself - have had a few problems with the
lighting looking right - which version of Blender and povanim are you
using?  (Wondering if maybe there's a newer version that I'm missing - I'm
on Blender 2.41, but the povanim plugin might be out of date)
