Do you suggest we add this to the documentation? Maybe at least a health
warning?

Miguel ?!?!? When did you add this???
You keep amazing me... someone asks something... you think about it some
weeks, and then in the next release it's there...
Congratulations!
About the documentation:
the recipe to look at these stereo images is like this:
IMPORTANT!!!! Looking at stereo images requires a lot of practice AND is known
to cause severe headaches to individuals (and not just because it's difficult
to learn :)
1. look at the picture at some 10/15 cm from the screen, and you'll see two
protein with a slight angle difference
2. stay where you are, and close your eyes and let them relax to 10/15 second
3. open your eyes, and you'll notice that your eyes will try to focus again.
Suppress this reflex!
Ok, when you've got that under control, you'll see more than two proteins...
you might even see all four of them split up, but normally, the middle two
are partly overlapping...
When you reached this point, you're at the right track.
Note that the you'll have two protein of each angle view each!
4. Try to finetune your focus such that the two proteins in the middle overlap
exactly... This takes training again, and will give you the headaches.
Note that these two middle proteins have *different* angles. And this is what
one sees normally when looking at an object, because your eyes are apart.
Well, except for the cyclops.
Anyway:
5. If you managed to get them overlapping, your brain will start to recognize
the input as 3D! Focus on that 3D image, and it will become clearer...
6. When you have this 3D focus under control, you can start rotating the Jmol
protein.
It's fun!
Now, some comments on the demo:
- I saw grey on grey, which makes it more difficult to focus properly...
please use colors instead... e.g. the secondairy structure colors on either a
white or black background.
- please widen up the Jmol window... I know square view is more efficient, but
we have two protein now, so basically need two squares, or something in
between...
Haven't got a set of 3D glasses, so only tried stereo...
