This method of generating stereo images is correct, but also leads to
quite a bit of vertical parallax (the so-called "toe-in" projection) -
this is why many stereoscopic images are hard to view properly (usually,
edges of the image are out of focus).  What you really want is a
non-symmetric camera frustrum (dunno how hard this is to do in pymol....)
where the two images should look along parallel vectors separated by some
distance (something like 1/20 the focal length).  Check out Paul Bourke's
page for all the details:

Hope this helps.
