Why shouldn't I run the first instance on a seperate console? It worked a 
while ago. The irst instance (6100) was catched from the console and the 
others started seperately. And also I tried without manual startup and .. no 
difference. It is absolutely necessary, that I can start piave manually from 
a console.

Ahh, that's why this instance doesn't get a createXWindow. ;-)

ok. Are you sure that we need all those instances running? I think the 
sepearation might make sense from an abstract point of view, but in reality, 
we'll have one piave _with_ xv overlay which will be fast, and all the other 
will have to use rgb, which is slow. Please keep that in mind. Two equal 
windows, both setup to play video in realtime are not possible.

great ;-)
