I am using Kubunu 5.10 and don't have a problem seeing the rendering window
during rendering.

A general piece of advice from the linux experts in my local LUG is to avoid
any and all software that isn't in a repository.  I really like that advice,
and with ubuntu, you really don't have to worry, because it's got some of
the more-well stocked repositories of any of  the distros I've tried. It
beats SUSE by far, which is the only other distro I'd recommend for
permanent installation.

I believe it is quite unfortunate for the povray pages on linux not to guide
folks to the repositories.

If you add this to your sources file, you can see povray and get it that
way:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse
