Hi Vince, This is expected. Essentially ParaViewWeb allows you to remotely view the ParaView output with your browser. If you launched the Visualizer without pointing a browser at it and then went to another computer and pointed a browser at the first computer, you would see the ParaViewWeb output. The window would still pop up on the computer running ParaViewWeb. Essentially the problem is that ParaView needs an OpenGL context to do its rendering and on most operating systems this requires a window. So it creates a window to get the OpenGL context and uses onscreen OpenGL.
You can change it to use offscreen rendering by finding where it creates its render view and setting view.UseOffscreenRendering = 1. But you still get a window that pops up (it is just a blank window now). I'll let you know if I figure out how to get rid of the window altogether.
