I believe you are talking about the server-side render window that pops up.
I am attaching a experimental patch to get you started. It works only
on Linux. All I am doing it not mapping the window. Now when you run
server with offscreen:
pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering
and connect to it from ParaView client, you should no longer see any
server-side windows when remote rendering.
Of course the patch is more of a hack, but it should give you a starting point.
