Use the -M startup option (forces a mono OpenGL graphics context).  Is this
documented anywhere?  Hmm no.

Say, what do people think about the idea of creating a PyMOL Wiki to hold
nuggets of information like this?     Or is there a better alternative to
Wiki now available?

DeLano Scientific LLC has exactly zero experience in this area, so we need
some advice and help on how to do this right...if at all.

Should the Wiki be free for everyone, or limited to PyMOL sponsors?  If
DELSCI spends time and money on a Wiki, then we would pretty much have to
limit it to sponsors in order to complete the value cycle.  But then
everyone else would get left out, losing the participation of the broader
community, and the Wiki would be much less useful and effective.  That's why
I haven't done this yet.

On the other hand, if the Wiki is open to everyone, it may generate lots of
bandwidth, management, and hosting expenses.  We must have a plan for paying
those bills.  DELSCI would certainly help, but we might need a dedicated
Wiki hosting fund if this effort really took off.  

If you are a Wiki expert and can provide some on advice on this, please
speak up!

1. Are hosting costs (time & money) the reason why no one has started an
independent PyMOL Wiki yet?

2. Are there any good free or inexpensive locations for hosting a secure
high-performance Wiki?  

3. How much administration is involved in running a (potentially)
heavily-used Wiki server?  (Assuming that 1,000-10,000+ people immediately
began using this resource as their primary PyMOL reference resource).

4. Is this sort of thing best administered by volunteers or by paid
professionals?

5. Is there another software project with a successful Wiki that we could
learn from?

6. If the effort is going to be volunteer in nature, then does anyone have a
suitable server with a FAT pipe that could be backed up remotely by us?

Cheers,
Warren
