In response to a query about using an object graphics program in the
virtual machine, on Mac OS-X, I received the following two replies
from RSInc.

Unfortunately, applications that use object graphics will not work
with the IDL virtual machine. This is a known issue and a report
has been logged against it to which I have added your name. For
future reference, the report logged is CR #31390.
A couple of customers have reported the following work-arounds
to this issue (Although neither works in all cases).
1. Forcing IDL to use software rendering when running the application.
2. (This only worked in one case) Using "idlde" rather than "idl".
For
example, the above call to the virtual machine would be
idlde -vm=/Applications/idl/surfview.sav

*Additional information
This is for all UNIX platforms

My email support person told me it would be okay to post these two
items to c.l.idl-pvwave.
