p.s.

I verified that the same problem occurs when logged
directly onto the console of the Linux machine, or when
rlogged in to the Linux machine from the Octane.

Also I verified that when this line of code is
commented _out_ of the program

 _examinerViewer = new SoXtExaminerViewer(_frame9, "examinerViewer", TRUE);

then the program runs fine (the images are displayed
in the GLwMDrawingArea).  But as soon as that line
is commented in, the images cease to appear in the GLwMDrawingArea.

When you say "OpenGL display area", do you mean the rendering area in one of
the Inventor viewers? How are you rendering the image and what format is it?
Does the application work when remote displayed, e.g. to your Octane? Do you
have a simple test case to reproduce the problem?
