New description:
I can't see Graphics3d objects on the command line. For example,
{{{
sage: sphere()
sage:
}}}
The command returns without starting jmol or producing any other graphical
output.
Strangely enough, I can start jmol from the sage command line:

Comment:
Jonathan, definitely keep working on #9238. Jason can just put those
things in the new notebook. Having something working completely is a very
good idea, and we can continue to test it on the old notebook, which is
still the current notebook, after all.
I do think we need to also add the piece of #9238 that changes the
lighting. Currently I have good lighting in the command line and bad
lighting in the notebook, even without the new jmol - someone the new jmol
is called from the notebook, even though I didn't install it in this
version!!! I even checked this in the advanced menu. Mystifying.
I'm just testing quick, and then I'll post patches. Since they aren't
mine, I feel free to give positive review.
