Hi Hark, I can't quite work out what you are trying to do with your usage model, it's rather a perplexing thing to want to leverage osgViewer but not want any of the actual rendering and windowing capability and this is really what this library is all about.
If you just want a scene graph and to run an update and event traversal just create your own vistors and do traversal on them, no need for osgViewer at all. If you really didn't want to leverage what osgViewer::Viewer sets but don't want the standard implementation of Viewer::frame() then you don't need to subclass, simply don't call frame(), just call the traversals you want to call from your own frame loop, the Viewer has been designed to allow you to do this, frame() is just their as a convinience function.
