[PyMOL] pymol in the background

[Gordon W. <gor...@gm...>]

Hi

I seem to be having trouble running pymol (v1.0, gentoo) in the background
from a terminal, neither appending "&" nor "ctrl+z" followed  "bg" is doing
the trick. In both cases pymol freezes during certain operations, eg opening
pdbs, drawing cartoon. The window controls themselves respond. Don't want to
have to change directory in pymol all the time. Any ideas?

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to
understand the  fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised
for telling one another when the best fruit is.
