I hope you and others can confirm it's working...

Well, that's starting to get into major C programming and NVIZ/OpenGL  
stuff.  A bit beyond me.  I'll probably have to add a bug report for  
it so someone else can start looking into it.

And it seems to have mutated into two problems: crashing on Intel,  
and the 'twitch' in the NVIZ file browsers on both PPC and Intel.  I  
need to check the PPC Mac at work where it worked once to see if  
there is a simple solution to the 'twitch' in the NVIZ browsers.
