Oh? Could be a bug specific to my setup then (Gentoo Linux, Python
2.7.1, Visual 5.4)? Maybe something at the OpenGL level?

>>> import visual
>>> visual.sphere()
<vis.primitives.sphere object at 0xf4d0a8>
>>> visual.scene.visible = False
>>> visual.scene.visible = True
>>> visual.scene.objects
(<vis.primitives.sphere object at 0xf4d0a8>,)

When I do the above, I end up with a blank window. As you can see,
visual.scene is not deleted and it still has a reference to the
sphere, but I am definitely not seeing a sphere in the window. :)

Let me know if you need any other information from me.
